I’ll try to make this super short.
Fluffy, my 13 yr diabetic, off the juice for a bit over a year. Since March we have been fighting this terrible issues with her ear. First an infection, then it was a polyp. Then polyp removed, ear drum damage, continues ear infection, and so on. Treatment were washed with trizedta ottic, keto ultra, baytril, then we went into orbax (oral medication) and washes at the same time, etc etc. it would go away and return with a vengeance. We have seen 3 vets. Been to the vet 10 times.
currently we are doing a treatment of oral antibiotics and zymox ottic plus, for 6 weeks (we are on week 3), because this last “return” I though she wouldn’t make it. The base of her ear is hot and inflamed, he ear has gotten better since we started treatment, like the inflamation has gone down 50 percent.
Now, during this las 3 weeks she has lost a half a Pound, tested her blood with my human meter and after a 10 hour fast her number was 148. ( I didn’t do a 12 hour because she was hungry and all the other kids were eating).
Questions: 1- if you had any issue with ear issues like this, any advice?
Question 2: should I contact the vet and ask for her to be back on insulin? Would this help her heal her ear condition? Do these number indicate that she should go back on insulin?
Any help or advice would be incredibly appreciated.
