Another ear infection for Dex! - YorkieTalk.com Forums

celstu1 · 01-25-2013, 05:59 AM

My poor little guy! He woke up this morning with another ear infection. Since we just went to the ER vet a month ago for that, I used the same meds on him this morning. By the time I left for work he had stopped shaking his head, but when his ears go up, that one does not. I don't know why this is happening. Neither of them ever had ear problems before! Maybe he's sympathizing with Mommy who has chronic ear infections, esp in the winter.

I hope the meds work again as quickly as they did last time. Hubby is home with him today so he'll do more meds at 12, and again when I get home. Poor Dex!

I am so sorry to hear his ears are hurting. I hope they work quick for Dex

Poor baby, I also feel for the little guy. I had chronic ear infections growing up and they are painful! Praying he feels better soon!

Oh no, poor Dex! I hope he recovers quickly.

yeah he gets out outer ear infections... so do I. I know how he feels, it's sooo annoying and painful! The vet told me he was just a drama queen because it really was not that bad of an infection the last time I took him in, but the more I think about it. He was probably just bothered by it and the only way to show me was to keep shaking his head. He was whining and shaking his head, I do think he's got a lower pain threshold than my other boy because whenever he gets his shots, afterwards he practically SCREAMS in pain for the rest of the day. So now he gets a pain shot and a benedryl shot before he gets his vaccinations. Better that way!

Hope your baby feels better soon!

My Mugsy has his first ear infection right now. He's only 14 weeks old. When I took him to the vet, the poor young man who was the vet tech holding him didn't know quite how to take the whining - I don't know who was more upset - Mugsy or the tech. They can really cry, which i had never seen in a dog before I got my yorkie! The vet told me we caught it early. Mugsy has been on medication for 2 days now and he is feeling a lot better and almost back to his usual self.
