Yes, this is what I'm worried about. After waiting all day for a call back from the vet who saw her, I think I'll be phoning first thing and seeing about setting her up for a recheck with my usual vet. The ear sounds too moist to me and she is not really comfortable. Doesn't want me touching it at all. Can't get in there with anything to help dry it out, she won't hold still. I probably didn't clean the ear correctly when I last did it a few days ago and with all her squirming that day I am really angry with myself for not being more careful. I'm afraid I may have either poked her eardrum or just gotten the solution down too far into the canal...although this was how the vet I saw showed me how to clean the ears.
He only gave me 7 days worth of the meds, two drops per day and to wash the ear thoroughly twice a week with the Epi-Otic. But so much black gunk was coming out, I think we did three washings this week.
I do have more mometamax, but now am leery of using it. Do I continue to medicate or stop?
What kind of symptoms would she show if the drum had been injured or burst and maybe is suppurating, causing the wet sound? Or might I have just put in too much medicine? Is there any relief I can give her till we see the vet? She's eating, eliminating and moving relatively normally, but every once in awhile holds her head sideways to favor the left ear. Seems fine right now, but she's getting up and down a lot at night, usually to drink water, which she didn't before.
My poor baby. >_< I'm not very good at this stuff...I wish there had been an easier way to take care of all this.
