There's a young vet working at the clinic now. Just graduated last April. She's very good and I quite like her, but she's a funny girl. She never uses technical terms to describe anything. A couple months ago she recommended not treating my cat's hyperthyroidism due to the risk of "frying his kidneys".
Today she saw Muskwa. Muskwa has been holding his head funny all weekend, yelping when I touch his right ear, not a happy dog. So I dropped him off this morning to get his ear checked out. Jessica called a few minutes ago and reported that Muskwa has "the mother of all ear infections".
She said she's never seen anything quite like it, all kinds of funky cells in his ear. It doesn't look like his ear drum/canal has been damaged yet. That's all Muskwa needs is a physical excuse for ignoring me! She's sending a sample of the ear gunk out to Vancouver to be cultured. She's a little concerned that this will take more than just antibiotics to clear up.
