Do I not buy the medicine and hope his ears clear up again? Do I let him suffer with his ears now that we're making progress on his eyes and other stuff?

At least he can SEE again; and we can see the real color in his eyes instead of RED again.

I hate this whole being broke thing.
Making medical decisions for Oreo shouldn't come down to this decision.
Sounds like Oreo has a yeast/fungal infection in the ears for that medication to be prescribed. You don't want to let it go untreated or it will just get worse, including possible ruptured eardrums or hematomas from head shaking/scratching which may require surgery. I know it seems like alot of money but it could cost alot more later if you wait.

Ask your vet if you can get a prescription from an online pharmacy or if there's a generic form available that may help lower the cost for you.

Good luck.
