Since there are many potential causes for the ear infection, it's important that the vet examine your dog. Your dog may need an antibiotic to treat the infection, which the vet can prescribe. Soon, your dog will be feeling much better! Make a list of your dog's symptoms to bring with you. You should also note when they started and if they've worsened over time. They may need to sedate your dog in order to examine the ear and ear drum. This is because the dog may be in pain and could resist the exam. While it sounds scary to have your dog sedated, it's a common procedure that makes the exam easier for the dog. The vet will insert the swab into the dog's ear canal to take a sample. The vet can test this sample to determine what is causing the infection. If there is discharge, the vet may examine it in the clinic and do a culture to determine what kind of antibiotics are needed for the infection. They may also send it off to a lab in order to determine the best treatment, which could take a few days to a week to complete. In many cases, the vet can make a diagnosis after examining the dog and taking a sample. However, sometimes the vet wants to do more tests so that they can help your dog feel better. They may decide to do a blood test, urinalysis, MRI, or CT scan. A blood test and urinalysis can help the vet determine what is causing the infection, such as a particular bacteria. The MRI and CT scan will allow the vet to see the possible infection. They can also check if something is caught in the dog's ear, which could be causing pain and discomfort. For example, a twig may have gotten caught in the dog's ear. MRI and CT scans are specialized tests that are typically performed at universities.

Summary: Take your dog to the vet. Allow the vet to examine your dog's ear canal and ear drum. Expect your vet to take a sample of the discharge using a swab. Agree to other diagnostic tests if necessary.

It's recommended that all women take folic acid both before they begin trying to get pregnant and during their pregnancies. Some studies have also found that taking folic acid before you've conceived can increase your chances of having twins. When taking a folic acid supplement, don't take more than the recommended daily amount (usually one pill per day). If you want to add more folic acid from natural sources, eat foods like spinach, asparagus, fortified grains and cereals, broccoli, and citrus fruits. Drinking milk and eating other dairy products that contain hormones may increase your body's production of insulin-like growth factor (IGF). This can, in turn, up your body's production of the hormones behind ovulation. This means skipping the organic products! Be aware that some medical researchers are looking into a possible connection between the hormones in dairy products and other health problems (including cancer). Having higher levels of these reproductive hormones may encourage your body to release more than 1 egg during ovulation. Researchers have found that women in Nigeria have a higher chance of having twins than women in other parts of the world. One possible explanation for this variation is the prevalence of yams in these women's diets, although there's no solid medical evidence backing this up. As a result, you should be aware that you could eat yams every day and still not have twins. Regardless, you can incorporate this sweet potato-like food into your diet with lots of fun recipes, including ones for: Baked or mashed yams Yam cookies or brownies Yam fries Candied yams Yam and kale or spinach salads

Summary: Up your intake of folic acid before you conceive. Eat and drink hormone-enriched dairy products. Add yams to your meal plans.

Once you have all the necessary steps detailed, go through your manual to find the obvious category heads. Title them, and note their locations. Look at the way wikiHow is laid out as an example. The main page offers many section heads. When you access a section, it lists many subcategories, and the subcategories list articles. The more detailed your manual is, the more categories and subcategories you will need. (How to Whistle needs none, How to Carve a Whistle needs a few, and How to Play the Flute needs many!) Yes, you did it thoroughly once already. Doing it a second time will undoubtedly catch a few more minor errors or places where your manual just isn't clear. For a more comprehensive manual, you can also take this opportunity to note all the small topics, and use that information to create an index.

Summary: Start at the top level. Write a Table of Contents, if applicable. Proofread again. Select a title.

Use a spray bottle to lightly spritz the uncut hair. Comb the hair forward and make an imaginary line down the center of his head, as if it were in between his eyes separating the right side from the left side. You can also section the hair with clips if you need to. . When you reach the front of his head, comb his bangs down. Ask him how long he wants his bangs to be if you didn't already during the consultation. Holding the scissors vertically with the tips pointing up, make little snips using the points of the scissors. Cut at an angle for better blending. Be careful with bangs. The "golden rule" is: "Once you cut it, it's gone." Always remember that you can cut more off, but you can't add it back, so you must be sure of where you're cutting. Make sure that the bangs are damp, but take drying into account. Cutting dry hair causes it to fly everywhere, and can fray the ends in some cases. However, curly hair can shrink up to 4 inches (10.2cm) when it dries. Even straight hair can shrink as much as 112 inches (3.8cm). If you haven't cut bangs before, err on the side of caution.
Summary: Dampen the top of the man's head, and comb the hair forward. Trim his bangs
