The vet suspects Maggie has an ear infection, though it may just be vestibular syndrome (she is 10.5). She has developed a head tilt most of the time and her birthday listening tilt is even more tilted, but she isn't walking in circles or anything. Her got a good look in her left eat, but she wouldn't let him get a good look in her right ear ( should have done right first--that's the tilted side.

He gave her Baytril drops just in case it's infection. She is fighting me and the drops are so thick. I can't see when one drop comes out so I have to stop in between drops. She needs 5 twice a day.

She has floppy hairy ears which makes it harder to see when a drop comes out and to find the opening.

Any tips?

First time ever needing ear medication!
