one of my shih tzu's has got a bad ear infection at the moment, i have taken her to the vets and they have given her some canaural drops, the amount of wax is awful, i do feel sorry for her, hope oscar feels better soon

hi shih tzu yes oscar is on the same drops as ur dog he aint eating though im real worried iv phoned emergency vets but they want £97 just to see him which is steep i mean hes being playful etc and he ate abit this morning but we feed em at same time everyday unless hes just feeling off, oscar has got alot of wax and very greasy in the ear he keeps scratchin and itsmakin them bleed

im gona phone up monday again to get him in

awww bless him, you no how you feel yourself when you have earache and they cant tell us, we are just bathing her ears gently and putting her ear drops in and gently massaging her ears which she loves, am sure he will be fine just keep tempting him with food, she has been of her food but then again she is in pup, and they do go off their food, hope he feels better soon

thanks i hope urs gets well soon he just pushed his sister to get to her food cause i put his in the fridge wish he'd make his mind up so i got his out and he didn't want to know lol. im just cleaning his with cotton balls every now and then and when i put ear drops in i lay treats down works wonders dont get a murmer out of him
its still me just on my lil sis name haha

I think most dogs have want what they're having syndrome... glad he's eating.

Moo had an infection last year, I didn't realise but when she went to the vets with a tick he spotted it and give us the drops (same as yours). For the first few days she was scratching more with the drops, I think it was tickling, but it did her no harm.

Are your dogs long haired dogs like Shi-tzu's etc, because they have little wads of hair
growing in their ears,stopping fresh air getting in, and causing infections, so should be plucked out,you just put some antibiotic powder on and pluck them out so they are clean.
or your dog groomer should do it,if not your dog will keep getting infections. I have 2
Shi-tzu's which are done about every 2 months it keeps them ok

well
they are 12 weeks old i wouldn't say they hair is too long yet but i got a friend whos a dog groomer and shes gonna do them for me but theyve only just had their second injection so until 10 days later il take them and she will pluck them

i took him to emergency vets cost an arm and leg but i wanted to know he was ok and he is very unwell on his back leg he aint walkin on it hes liftin it he is just sittin and peein himself got very high temperature and lumps in his throat due to the ear infection it just doesn't seem to be gettin any better anyway the vet fully examined him gave him a antibiotic injection and also a injection to bring his temperature down i just hope he gets better soon its really worryi

aww, bless oscar he his having it rough bless him, sending him loads of love and hope he gets better soon.

he has been to the vets both back legs gone they are now saying they are 100% that they think its spinal definshsency i cant spell, he has to go at half 8 for xray and if it is they would have to refer him to a spine specialist and he will cost £2000 we have all been in tears cause we havent got that kind of money so im really choked up and not sure what to do

I know its hard but you really need to try and stop thinking 'what ifs', It could be a million different things and there could be a million different ways to treat it.
I know your going through hell worrying but there really isnt anything you can do until the test results come back. Try and get some sleep.

My furries send lots of hugs to oscar.

Let us know how he goes on.

he has got something artheritus and some other things but cant remember the vets terms, but hes on medication the next 3 to 5 days are crucial to see how he goes if he can manage and what his quality of life is like. So fingers crossed he copes but hes prone to picking up viruses apparently due to what he was born with so i have to keep in indoors for the time being hes on antibiotics and a liquid and he goes back friday

Fingers crossed Lisspot. He sounds like he needs lots of rests and cuddles? Can he walk at all to go out for a wee on the garden or anything or are you having to train him on paper again?

How is Oscar today? any improvement, i really hope so.

I hope he is improving and things are getting better for you all, sending positive healing thoughts to you little boy x

first of all sorry for not being on been busy working but now im off til wednesday thank god due to birthday woo, not sure if mums filled u in shihtzu think she told me she had...anyhow Oscar went to the vets yesterday hes been on antibiotics and some liquid stuff which he has once a day he has been running around walking sometimes he limps abit but i dont know if hes doing that for just doing it cause if i get treats out he runs anyway the vet checked him over so far so good she did say there is still some swelling to his back legs but so far so good and it takes time he goes back tuesday as his medication runs out monday
