| Ear Mites/Ear drops causing floppy ears? Hello - Lula has ear mites We went to the vet on 5/20 and have been giving her 3-4 ear drops per ear twice a day and one pill for her coat since her coat was also very itchy and dry. After a couple days of giving the meds her ears started drooping/folding over. I called the vet and the receptionist said not to worry and that both the pills and drops have no side effects. She also seems to be less playful and more sleepy but I am hoping it is just her tiny 3 pound body fighting off these bugs!! Has anyone had experience with this ... especially the drooping ears being caused by ear drops? Her ears did droop months ago while she was teething but they have been upright now for at least a month. Thanks in advance!

| My puppy had an ear infection about a month and a half ago and I too was giving ear drops and his ears dropped and went back up and down a few times a day. I thought maybe it was the teething but he was 6 months at this time and it was like 2 days after getting the drops that this happened.. But after I quit giving them to him it never happened again. I guess I'll know for sure the next time I need to give him the drops.

YT Addict | My pup had an ear infection when I got him and ear mites. I gave him the meds, they didn't make his ears drop, but then they weren't standing up yet anyways. The only side effect that I noticed was that he was greesy around the ears and head from taking the drops. But then again, about a week after he stopped his ears started going up. But I don't know if that was from the drops or from him just getting his ears up for the first time. |

| Thank you! I have a feeling that when I stop the drops the ears will go back up. Her ears are greasy too from the drops.

| Its probably from the drops. When Chachi had an ear infection the drops made his ears greasy too
