She's not dizzy. I can just feel fluid in her ears.
She's on antibiotics now.
I don't let my dogs get sick. I do something about it before that point.
Try to treat it rather than let it get worse because then you'll have to deal with dizziness, drunken-walking, etc. and likely hospitalization which is much more expensive.
Going to TSC and getting antibiotics there. Don't know why I didn't think of that sooner!
I don't want to give the wrong impression. Every vet there is good... I would just rather see the same vet every time. They are always in a hurry too... I want a doctor for my babies. A clinic just isn't good enough.
Our Veterinary office doesn't take appointments. Walk ins only.
She actually seems to be doing much better today. I think another day or two of flushing it out should work. When we move in the summer, I will be able to choose a much better quality vet.
If I had the money, I would already have taken her to get antibiotics. I could call the vet to get some more of the same antibiotics, but they are obviously not working. If she can beat this on her own, it would be best for her immune system... And she's over halfway there. When I massaged her ear this morning, there was no liquid. Yay! Huge leap for Daisy!
Ear candling would be most inadvisable -especially as she won't stay still. I wouldn't even think about it.
OK I guess she has been down the antibiotics road before? And these infections keep coming back? Nevertheless, it sounds to me as though she is in acute pain right now, and the best solution would be a course of antibiotics. Maybe a stronger one this time? These, if effective, could relieve her of the worst of this within a day (sometimes less) I don't know where you live, and what time it is now, but book an appointment for either today or early tomorrow morning. Usually if you call the vet about 8-8.30 am, you will get an appointment within a few hours.
I am a great supporter of alternative treatments. I use them on myself if ever I need medicine. But there are some exceptions. And a bad infection like this needs antibiotics IMO.
I hope she will be a LOT better soon. Poor girl. Give her a hug from me.
