Okay, so Dozer had been doing so well on his probiotics. His ear was clear and all, minimal biting and itching. And then I forgot to give it to him for 2 days. Now he has a nasty ear infection again. I've been religious on giving him his pills (even 2 some days) and have been cleaning out the ear with the mix of alcohol/tea tree oil and it's taking a while to go away again. In fact, it hasn't yet and it's been a week.
The only other thing different is that he had a HUGE amount of venison one day when I forgot the pills (like 6 pounds- it was frozen and all I had to give and I couldn't break it up. I thought he would stop eating when full. Guess not). I don't know if that has anything to do with it or if it's coincidence?
Any words of encouragement or advice? He was doing so well...why the infection now? |
