Tilt relapse?

Thanks everyone and sending vibes to all other buns that need them!

He's recovering well, I'll update his head tilt thread separately once I know more. The temporal bullae was the term I wasn't sure of! Just seen it written on his aftercare sheet.

Thank you all for your kind words and support! He is back home now, the dental went well and there are no abnormalities with his teeth.

The x ray showed differences between his left ear and right ear in the little air sac behind his ear drum (I can't remember the name the vet gave it!). In his tilty ear, it looks like there might be either fluid, infection, a mass, or scar tissue inside it. The x ray has been passed on to a specialist to see what they might recommend. He may go for a CT depending on what they say.

I'm glad we've found something as it explains why it keeps coming back. Now it's "just" a matter of finding out what is in the ear. I'm hoping it's just a little pocket of infection that could be treated with alternative medication to everything we've tried so far, but we'll see. He has to go back for a checkup at the weekend so I should get the results then. In the meantime the antibiotics and painkillers that he's on post op for the dental should manage the symptoms.
