Ear hurting Callie went to the vet monday and got an update on two of the four shots she needed and I told the vet how callie has been rubbing her ear a lot and making not like full cries but little tiny hard to hear cries ocasionaly when doing it and she looked in her ear with two different things and then used a q-tip to clean it and see if there was anything unusual on the q-tip and there wasn't so she suggested that I get some ear cleaner and clean then but Im afraid to putt a drop of the ear clean in her ear if they already hurt! She goes back next monday for the other two shots should I go ahead and try a cleaner (if so which one is the best) or should I just wait and tell the vet on monday that there r still hurting? She is really grumpy like its hurting but I donno what to do! Any suggestions? |
You can try the ear cleaner but if shes is hurting as much as you say I wouldnt wait untill Monday to get her back in the vet. It seems like the vet would have gave you some medicine. Poor thing ear aches hurt |
If the vet wanted you to use cleaner, they should've sold it to you or recommended a brand. Ellie's vet sells Chlorhexiderm Flush, so that is what I use. I'm not sure why her ear would hurt though with no infection or scabs.:confused: |
Any thoughts about getting a second vet to have a look? Ear cleaning fluid is great but if there is an infection she needs drops. JL |
I'm afraid that just cleaning the ear will not stop the pain. It's evident that she has an ear infection and hopefully it doesn't have to get so bad that her ear is swollen and red before the Vet. gives her some meds. Well, I'm pretty outspoken, and am a real mother lion when it comes to my babies, so if I had a Vet. that didn't do a darn thing to get to the root of the problem after saying how she was in pain, well honey I'd be letting them know how I felt about their uneducated response and would never go back. I'd be getting my baby into a emergency hospital then doing some massive inquiry's on finding a really great Vet. Please take care of that little one of yours. She needs you to go to bat for her. |
now she is also rubbing her butt on the floor again like she did once before I took her to the vet! I guess I really am going to have to find a different vet! Any ideas on how to do that because there are so many how do I knpow which is best? |

Also rescues usually have great bets give a rescue in your area a call and ask if they give a recomend. This is how I found the one I am using he turned out to be a geme. JL |
I'm in the process of finding a new vet also... I've just been asking friends with small breed dogs who they recommend. Then I ask the vet some questions to make sure they will treat us better than our last one. Also, I think rubbing their but on the floor means they need their anal glands expressed, I don't think that is related to the ear. Best of luck to you! |
