@bijouxbroussard I called them but no appointments. I am calling another around the corner been waiting for someone to pick up for 10 mins.

As I don't drive I'm trying to go somewhere within walking/carrying distance

If his ear is badly infected he will feel nauseated almost constantly. I would take him to an entirely different vet...not even a branch of the same vet you have been seeing.

IF this is an external ear infection, it might be made worse by constant cleaning of the dog's ears.

IF the infection is in the middle or even deeper areas of the ear, it will not clear up without antibiotics.

I'm concerned that your vet gave the dog a steroid injection. He might be having a reaction.

"Short-term side effects
Short-term side effects are those that we expect a dog to experience when initially placed on corticosteroids. These side effects depend both on the type of steroid prescribed and on the dosage administered, and include:

increased thirst and urination
increased hunger
panting
general loss of energy
development or worsening of infections (especially bacterial skin infections)
vomiting or nausea (less common)"

@4meAndyou My cat got sick from commercial cat food but I didn鈥檛 realize it at the time. Was reading a Holistic Vet鈥檚 column in the local newspaper and he would emphasize about diet and how commercial foods can cause so many problems. . She started having a lot of huge flakes of dry skin and she was twitching along her spine. Took her twice to the vet who gave her steroid shots and then she developed recurring kidney infections (would start throwing up) and diabetes and finally tumors.

@cherokeepatti That is so sad. 馃槦馃槦馃槦

My cat also began to have dry skin along his spine, near the tail bone, and began to lose his hair. Thankfully his new diet, and a couple of additives I put into his food, (1/4 tsp apple cider vinegar for possible mites, and 1/8 tsp powdered fenugreek seeds), have turned this around. His hair is growing back and he isn't scratching himself so often. I am think of adding some nitrate free bacon fat...maybe 1/2 tsp...to his food if I ever fry up any bacon.

@4meAndyou sounds good. It was Purina cat chow. And I鈥檝e heard of animals getting tumors from Purina brands.

Get well soon Bruno!馃拹
God bless you...馃檹

Could he have gotten into something he shouldn鈥檛 have and eaten it. Something left on the ground if he went outside? He sounds miserable.

We used to be able to our hands on antibiotics that worked well for that but we can't buy it anymore due to regulations.

Aww Bruno, has he eaten anything weird? Hopefully you鈥檒l be able to get him to the vet xx
Mellowgirl31-35, F
@GLITTER no this week he's been on a really short lead so I can monitor what he eats because he's been so unwell. For a week he's no played with others dogs. Eating plain oats with water in the am, and boiled rice and boiled chicken in the evenings. I've slowly been reintroducing his kibble.
And lady night he played with another dog for the first time.

I'm not entirely sure what's going on.

@Mellowgirl the vet will be able to check, I hope he is okay! It鈥檚 such a worry when pets are sick, you just don鈥檛 know how to help them xx

@Stereoguy he had an ear infection. So I took him to the vets last Thursday he had steriod shot and ear drops that should clear the infection and protect him for a month instead of me administering daily.

The evening of Thursday he was panting and drinking soooo much water.
Saturday he was lousy Sunday he vomited and had diarrhoea.
The stools have been on/off since then even though he's had a bland diet.
Last night I decided to reintroduce his kibble with the boiled rice and chicken to.
He also played with his friend the first time after a week.
This morning mess in the crate. He bent the wire in an attempt to get out. And he also. Vomited 9 times today.
Thats all very very strange for him including the fact that his walking was so weird not wanting to bend his back legs, and dragging the left one. Also being afraid of walking up and down the stairs.

I carried him in my coat on the way to and from the vets....
