I'm not sure about the other meds besides the antibiotic, which I think she should be taking since she has an infection in both ears. I know that when Gizmo had an ear infection, he had to be on antibiotics and he also had to have an ear cream put into his ear. I had my husband hold him for me while I put it in his ear (very, very gently). Then I talked to Gizmo like it was a great thing that he was getting this done to him and gave him lots of love and kisses. After he was a good boy, he got a treat! Of course, he was a little pup at the time and was more likely to cooperate than an adult dog. Maybe you should just be really gentle with Katydid and give her lots of praise and treats as you hold her and put the meds in her ears. Good luck. I know it's hard but I am sure you will be able to come up with a way that's works for you and Katydid! Just try to make it as positive of an experience as possible. Stefanie

I am so ready to find another vet. as this is the 2nd. time she has had trouble with her ears. She also takes 3 pills, an antibiotic, cortisone capsule and something for her throat. Does this sound right , cause right now I am a little Leary of this vet along with I feel he over charges me.
