My parents have a dog who has been battling ear infections for 2-3 years. She has been seeing her vet this entire time and he has been treating her with antibiotics, ear cleanings, etc. But the infection is just not going away.
The vet is indicating surgery maybe the next step. He would remove a part of her inner ear because the infection has spread to the bone. Next place the infection would spread to is her brain or enter her bloodstream without the surgery.
Has anyone's dog experienced this problem and/or surgery and what was the outcome? What were the treatments? What were the treatments?
My parents adore this vet and he has treated my parents and their dog very kindly. However, maybe there is another treatment their vet may not have been aware of??? I would like for them to get one more opinion just in case. Their dog has other health problems and some of the possible side effects from the surgery sound pretty bad. We are leaving the surgery as the last resort.
TIA
