So anyway she gave Zima a shot for parasites to get rid of them, she said that he would need 3 injections in total every 10 days... I have noticed since i bought him home from the vet that his ears STINK! It is such a weird smell i can't even begin to describe it to you... I gave him a bath today for the 1st time as i thought he might just be dirty but it didn't help the smell from his ears AT ALL!!! Do you think it's the ear mites causing this smell? I mean the vet would have noticed an infection surely!? I will take him back tomorrow to have it checked out either way...  Thanks all |
if they did the ear swab test, then it could have been seen , so im sure the smell is from that...i know exactly the smell is, so just give it time....just give it till the end of the week and see what happens...ive never had injections for ear mites, just typical ear meds did the trick where i used to work....keep us posted!
