Hey everyone!
Well, Midnite is definately starting this year off with a bang! First the surgery to have that mast cell tumor removed. Then having to go back three times to have fluid drained, sutures taken out and then again since the vet tech left one suture in! And now she has an ear infection!
Last week I noticed she had a lot of ear wax in her right ear so I cleaned it out with some white vinegar diluted with warm water. Then yesterday I checked her ear and it looked a lot cleaner. Well early this morning (5AM to be exact) I'm woken up to Midnite whimpering. Turn on the light and there is this fluid draining out of her ear! Bring her into the living room and clean her out ear out with the diluted vinegar. Poor girl yelped in pain!
I cleaned her ear again tonight will some diluted perioxide. She's been shaking her head a lot and once in a while she'll tilt her head to the side. There's now a nasty smell coming from that ear too!
Tomorrow I'm calling her vet and hopefully we can get an appointment for tomorrow afternoon otherwise I'll have to bring her Wedsnesday since my classes don't end until 5PM on Tuesday. If he can't see her until Weds. hopefully he can suggest something better to clean her ear with so she can be a little more comfortable. Even though she's not showing pain I could just imagine how uncomfortable it is!
I feel bad for my poor girl! Two surgeries in the past five months and now this! Old age stinks!
