What you do if the dog started going deaf ?

Years ago, I went out with a girl who was a real dog, so my friends have told me. I used to put Vaseline on the bottom of her feet in the winter, and she slid all over the place! :-D cdrxo

My mother's cats are well familiar with baby oil. - Baby oil is effective in soothing itching feline ears as well. I think it drowns the mites that gather in the little ears.

White dogs and cats have a tendency to go deaf. My white Maltese went deaf and there was nothing I could do as it is generic. However I made sure I would stomp/tread heavily when I came into a room where he was as he could always sense the vibrations and that way I did not scare him. I would do this when he sat a the window watching for me to return after I went out as the poor baby was still sitting staring out the window after I opened the door.

huh I have never heard of those tricks. my mom has a yorkiepoo and she is 16 years old, poor thing is deaf and blind. So she doesn't change the furniture and she has fenced off a smaller part of the yard so she can't wander off. For her age she is fairly healthy and hasn't had too many problems in her life.

Hello; using baby oil can cause infections,ear mites luv it and also heavy wax build up. You can get professional ear cleaner from most stores like Pet Smart etc. There is not to much you can do about getting deaf keeping ears clean, HEARING AIDE, WHAT, the normal things when aging. Try the internet there might be some good ideas out there.

If the dog going deaf,then need to start practicing hand signals, for each command need to be trainded the hand signal language.

Evidently the baby oil dissolved the wax in her ears and she could hear better. I do not have a dog, but I would think they need regular check ups, just as we do.

I don't think I would put anything in a dog's ears without doing some research first and talking to a vet (or two or three). It's not as if the dog can tell you if it helps or not and it might even do some harm.

Hi cd, It is not abnormal for an old dog to lose hearing. My previous dog had started losing her hearing when she was 12. She heard loud noises, but her hearing wasn't so fine any more. From my experience, I would advice you to keep her on leash whenever she is outside her home, as she can't hear when you call her, or when a car approaches. When they go old, our beloved dogs start to show a lot of problems, hearing weakness is one of them. But as they go old we love them more and more. Give a lot of kisses to your beloved Daisy from me!
