| When it rains, it pours :( Tek, my 3 yr old yorkie, is having multiple things at once. He had medial patella luxation surgery 3 wks, then found out he had raging ear infection Thursday, and starting yesterday, tummy trouble. He didn't eat much yesterday and then when we went out this morning, he was grazing on grass like a cow. Gave him some Tummy Trouble and now can hear his tummy rolling. He still won't eat, not even his treats. I have not changed food or treats and he is not on oral meds for ear. Do ya'll think this is all coincidence or connected somehow. He has been really healthy up until now, occasionally has upset tummy, but never ear infection before....I feel so bad for him, 3 wks of feeling like crap is enough and I can't instantly make it all better! Any comments/suggestions welcome! |

Donating YT 30K Club Member | I am sorry your little one is having a had time. What does the vet say about the tummy problems. Sometimes mine get tummy upsets for no reason I can figure out. I wonder if the ear drops have something in them that are making his tummy upset? I hope he feels better soon.

| It may be all of the stress from what's been going on with the little guy. I'd let your vet know about it just to be on the safe side. Hope the little guy is feeling better soon! Keep us posted!

| Oh poor baby. I hope you get some answers soon and Tek can start feeling better. It's awful to see our little ones sick. Sending good thoughts and well wishes to Tek.

| I would definitely call the vet. You also might want to look up the med he is for his ear infection. I had a pup go deaf from Mometamax for an ear infection.....thankfully I realized there was a problem quickly and they flushed his ears and his hearing returned in a couple of days. He was acting strange ... that was all and it ended up the med, so you just never know.

| Don't know what you are using for the ear infection, but Otomax is commonly used so I looked it up and found this: Otomax ® Ointment (Brand) From the site: What side effects may be seen when taking Otomax? May see loss of hearing or balance. These effects are usually temporary. If ingested, the most common side effect of corticosteroids is an increase in the amount of drinking and urinating. Less common side effects are an increased appetite and weight gain, panting, diarrhea, vomiting, and behavior changes. If your pet experiences an allergic reaction to the medication, signs may include facial swelling, hives, scratching, a sudden onset of diarrhea, vomiting, shock, seizures, pale gums, cold limbs, or coma.
