Hi all
Just to update you ( I have previous threads on Sweeps ear infection and dental). My lovely boy at the age of 10 has had to be PTS today. He has had an ear infection since April, which was problematical. He had a dental in June and after only 5 weeks was showing signs of not eating again. The tooth had dropped out and his opposing tooth was starting to overgrow. However in the last 2 - 3 days he has been turning round in circles, not really knowing where he is (he has cataracts also) also he had been eye flickering, which I thought was scanning. The vet said that the ear infection has caused some neurological damage and it would get worse as he would lose his balance and feel sick without being able to be sick.
We didn't want to put him through another dental with all his other problems and had to let him go. It is such a hard decision to make but we know that it is the right one for him. We are so upset and will miss him so much. He had a partner who is younger by a couple of years so she will be inside with us and I will keep an eye on her.
