Gosh, this is such a puzzling case! I was so hoping to see Coco improving. I'm with you...one more day and then see if the vet can come up with any other reason for this hearing loss. More prayers on the way for him and you!
**hugs**

It looks like he'll be getting an x-ray of his skull. There doesn't appear to be any improvement in Coco Puff, so he's scheduled for the x-ray on Monday morning. Honestly, I had decided to get the x-ray anyhow, just for my own peace of mind. His deafness may be temporary and his hearing may return when the inflammation subsides but then again, when Dr. Lee said that he wants to be sure that there is no tumor, well, I'm not taking any chances. My Yodie had an ear polyp removed 4 years ago and it's never grown back. Dr. Lee said he's still amazed at that. I quit worrying about it because it was stressing me to think that she could lose her hearing. So now here's Coco Puff and out of the blue, he can't hear. Life is always throwing us curve balls, isn't it?

Mary!! I am a johnny come lately to your thread!! I am so sorry to read about Coco!!! We just went thru an episode with our oldest Norton. He was sneezing blood. He had several bad teeth and not a tumor!!! I will light a candle for Coco and you, too!!! Sandra

I hope the x-ray shows SOMETHING so the mystery can be solved!

The way Coco Puff got his name still makes me smile a bit, however.

Come on back, Raoul Boop!

Mary - going back to a way earlier post, is there any way to check and see if Coco's favourite spots might have mold spores floating around them?

HUGS and healing is coming to Coco Puff!

I wonder if Coco Puff would see the humor in his name. LOL

Interesting that you mentioned his old spots. I thought about that and wondered if possibly he could have picked up the ear infection that Yodie had recently because it's so contagious, although they're not what you'd call good buddies, they don't sleep together or groom each other but anything is possible. I'm going to ask Dr. Lee to be sure to do a culture. As of right now, Coco isn't frequenting his usual spots. He LOVES sleeping inside one of the carriers. That's his bed and he hasn't gone in there since this all began. He hasn't returned to any of his spots; he lies in the middle of the hardwood floor in the hallway and when I walk up to him, he meows loudly. Maybe he's confused and that's why he sits there or maybe he feels safe there, I don't know. I just can't stand it when they abandon their normal routines and I don't have a clue why.
