The vet advised that YTs have low immunities, when compared to other breeds, so have an elevated amount of bacteria on their skin. He confirmed that Teddy does not have a yeast infection in his ears/eyes but could see the presence of bacteria so prescribed a cortisteriod to be used 3x a day for 7 days.
Ok, just to clarify, your vet put Teddy on steroids for bacteria? I am hoping you meant to type antibiotics. Steroids supress the immune system which will cause the bacteria to really flourish.
Was he vaccinated on this visit? With the steroids?
