@Gemy I thank you very much for your detailed message. This is my first time setting up a forum & I am trying to learn how it all works. So please forgive me for my lack of experience! I really appreciate each and every reply that all of you have taken the time to read & try to help my Bear get better!
I will definitely look into a specialist. They did not recommend one. They want to keep trying different things. I believe Vet #1 & #2 truly do care about Bear's health and want to get him better. But, what they are proposing isn't working. I'm back at square one with no answers.
- The doctors said the bacterial & yeast infection were gone in the inner ear. But, maybe it reoccurred?
-I checked the paperwork & do NOT see a BAT. His ALT level were on the highest in the normal range.
- His shakiness is all throughout the day while he is with us. No rhyme or reason with it. He's not ALWAYS jumping off things, but he is scared to. He's just much more jittery than normal. This is not how he's always been! I know with ear infections, it causes the equilibrium to be off balanced, so maybe that would explain the jumpiness. But, him shaking is what worries me the most. We hold him and love on him to reassure him that he's okay.
- Since Gentizol IS a steroid, I do believe that was the result of his bloating. Also, I believe that his bloating & Ears are separate issues.
- His appetite has decreased a little. I had to feed him by hand last night to make sure he ate. Once he started eating, he realized he was starving and ate a bowl full. Bloating is not a problem now. He is drinking normal & bowel movements are normal.
While I'm researching specialists in the area, is there anything you recommend me to put on his ears? |
