It's not that you are doing anything wrong--some dogs are more prone to getting infections. What antibiotics did they give for in the ears?? I am not a vet, so I can't comment on whether the tonsilitis is causing an ear infection(I work for a vet and never heard this-but as I said, I am not a vet). Sometimes, at our clinic, if a pet has a problem-we will send 2 types of antibiotics for in the ear(otomax and baytril otic) as well as an oral antibiotic--length of time on them is sometimes 2 weeks or more. If the ears continue to be a problem--we will recommend a culture and sensitivity to find out what antibiotics the infection is immune too(helps them figure out what to send next). Also, does your yorkie lick his behind at all?? Or get his anal glands expressed?? I know our Dr's made a diagnosis of tonsilitis already due to the pet licking back there and ingesting all the yucky bacteria. Good luck--hopefully they can get this figured out for you. |
