I only mentioned his ears to the vet because a few times when he was yelping he would act like he was going to scratch at his right ear. I assumed he was trying to figure out what to do with his painful leg. So he's also being treated for that. He whimpers when I put the drops in so a part of me wonders if some of his crying isn't due to his ear which I have to treat for two weeks. Before Thursday he had not shown ANY signs of ear problems and his ears look perfectly healthy. |
Awe poor Sugar
I think you might be right the yelping might be from the ear infection. Our Boxer has constant ear issues (and she yelps when she scratches too) and I have found a simple remedy probiotic plain yogurt in her food twice a day. She gets 2 tsp because she is 75 lbs but Georgie gets it too and we give him just a little. Since we have been giving her the yogurt her ears are so much better. Hope Sugar feels better soon.
