So after 2 vet visits in a week I think we know what is going on.
The first vet visit I had him there because it was after a flare of what I'm thinking is pancreatitis (we've had 3 now) . The vet decided she didnt agree with me and thought it was ear related . ( He does have chronic ear infections but this was a different pain and I could tell ) So the vet recommended doing an ear test . She did it and it came back as- in her words - "very minor infection" . She said " let me flush them and treat them just in case ." I agreed .
Two days later he couldnt walk without falling over. Was drooling and had a head tilt . Also he wouldn't eat and was hiding all day . I started giving him some zofran because I could tell he was nauseous and called the vet the next day. She told me to bring him in . She told me she suspects a ruptured ear drum or an inner ear infection... my issue with this is that he was fine when I had him there.. has no ear issues at the time . And she put Claro in his ear so why would I get worse ?? She sent me home with a new bottle of an ear cleanser with anti biotics plus steroids. He is no longer drooling or having a head tilt but he is struggling to walk without falling over .
After all my obsessive research I think she may have caused all of this . And that the Claro was not a good option for him . And also that the reason hes falling over is from vestibular disease due to the ear issues .
Will these steroid drops cause spikes in his BGL?
And has anyone else dealt with this before ?
