Kristin, yeah, I think the problem is about the same summer and winter. I've been ignoring it equally in all seasons :O She's never been on antibiotics. |
Does Jillie have a lot of hair in her ears or does she scratch it @ all, any odor? Since the eye & ear are all connected, it could be also be a sign of an ear infection.
I had actually taken Princess & Turbo in yesterday to our vet...Turbo has a slight ear infection & they had to hold him down to pull out all the ear hair (he has a lot) & he even squirted out his anal gland stinkies @ them loll! The vet also gave some anti-inflammatory shots in his ears
bc they were red & inflamed. I feel so horrible bc I try to clean out his ears once a week & left his ear hair bc he won't let me pull it out...I thought cleaning it was enough. I need to drop some hydrocortisone ear drops on him twice a day for 7 days, he's not gonna be happy about that. We'll see if his tear stains improve...
