Sydney's vet: inner ear infection!!!!!!
We saw Sydney's regular vet today. Dr. MacArthur (or Dr. Bill) thinks it is most likely just an inner ear infection.. which will get better with treatment!!!!!!!
He looked deeply into Sydney's ears, found pus in one, a small eardrum tear in the other.. Gave him an antibiotic shot and some pills for him to take one each day for ten days. Meanwhile, continue with the steroid (he called later, left message saying we'll taper the dose next week) and the daily fluids. He should begin to show noticeable improvement in a couple of weeks or so .. it takes some time for the infection and the tear to heal.
There could also be a stroke, and once we clear up the inner ear we can see what else if anything is going on. He doubts that it's a brain tumor.
He also agrees about Omega 3 as well as fish oil, and so we're getting some of that, too.
HALLELUJAH!!!!! THANK YOU,GOD!!!!!
And thank you to all you wonderful Pet Talkers who have been so kind and generous and loving with your prayers and healing wishes and candles!
Love to all, from Sydney and Pat and the rest of the gang

I meant," said Ipslore bitterly, "what is there in this world that truly makes living worthwhile?"
Death thought about it.
CATS, he said eventually. CATS ARE NICE.
