Fortunately we caught it quickly and he did not suffer permanent hearing loss. Of course that was a different medication, but just using it as an example.
Hopefully he is just tired.
Yeah, he's not sleeping all the time just doesn't seem to be bouncing off the walls like he normally does. He's up now and seems perky, I just worry about him because he's only 2.7 pounds. They said as long as he's not lethargic he's fine. I scheduled another appt on Monday to double check. Plus, I was reading that they should have cleaned his ears before his ear drop treatment began, and they didn't. His ears were very sensitive though and he squealed when they touched them, the vet said they were red.
