good luck!
We're home. Boy typing on the iphone sure throws up a lot of bad spelling on my part. Sorry about that.
Okay, so yep, ear infection, they prescribed Surolan. It's a topical anti-fungal, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory drops, twice a day, also slather on the inside ear flap due to it being red.
If needed, original benedryl 25 mg tabliets with the only medicinal ingredient being Diphenhydramine. She can half 1/2 a tablet, 12.5mg, every 8 hours for 2-3 days. This is if she is uncomforable and her ear is bothering her.
This is Molly's first ear infection and all I could think of is that there is one that they shouldn't give her that could damage her hearing and to run on here to find out what it was. We asked before they did anything that they not give her anything in that family of drugs.
They also asked me if she was cushings and I told them she had the LDDS and suppressed for the full 8 hours below 1. The vet said, oh good, not cushings. Whew.
I did say, yea, not cushings but still high ALP and ALT and told them about what we are giving her, the Hepato Support Supplement, which she said would is good for molly to be taking right now.
So that is the latest update on Molly.
Thanks Kim, so much for the fast answer. It got me through the ER experience feeling better to know what Not to let them give her and that I walked in knowing that information.
Hugs all,
Sharlene and Molly Muffin
No problem. Glad I checked in. Just in case - I did a search on the forum and typed in ear infection deafness and every thread where it was discussed was brought up :_) Cumbersome but when you gotta know you gotta know!
Hope Molly gets immediate relief from the drops. Kim
Sharlene: So sorry for Molly's ear infection, but glad you caught it early, that is awesome, you are so good. She will be good as new in a day or two. Glad to know the myacins could cause deafness also. This is such a great forum with such good people. Love JoAnne
Hope Molly's ear is feeling better today.
Hope Mollys ear is feeling better today. It is one of the many health issues I deal with on my little guy too, he is the only one who gets them and the slightest thing can set one off for him. I carry the liquid benadryl with me every where cause it will give him pretty quick relief, and he likes the cherry flavor so he takes it easily :p
Hope Molly is feeling better !
hugs kona and deb
I hope you both are better today. I cant help with ears, ironically, it is the one thing so far Zoe has not had.:rolleyes::rolleyes:
I know Molly is in the best hands ever!!!!!
hugs
Hi all, thanks for the kind words.
This is molly's first ear infection. She was shaking her head and really bothered yesterday morning, but I checked and both just looked pink. So I thought, well, if she keeps this up I'll take her to the vet on Tuesday. Last night when I was combing her ears, she was sensitive on the left side and when I looked at it, it was flaming red. To the ER we go after a quick check in here. It scared me how fast it changed.
She seems much more comfortable today with the medication. Expect 7 days for it to be completely cleared up. She'll be fine. No damage to ear drums, the vet said we got it very early on.
whew
Thank god Zoe doesn't have That to deal with too Addy!
hugs, all,
Sharlene and Molly muffin
Awwwww poor Molly! The meds willl kick in soon and she be feeling a lot better, bless her! I've noticed that about dogs. Any ailment they seem to get can escalate from almost nothing to severe in a matter of hours. That's why we have to be on the ball at noticing these things as soon as they start to happen. Good thing that you are!:)
Have a great day and give a good belly rub to Molly for me!
Hugs from Leah and Maya
Sharlene, how is Molly's ear doing? Hope she is doing better :)
