Because of my job ive had to ask my Mum to take Maple (10 yr old Dutch) to the vets twice last week
1. Started with a gunky eye which hasnt reappeared and a slight head tilt
Vet checked her teeth and her eye, slight scratch on eyeball so thought maybe she had run into something while i was asleep?! Shes on daily metacam so vet was happy that was solved
2. Shaking of head persisted and she seems to come to me to have her ear on one side scratched
I asked my mum to get the vet to do blood tests (which didnt happen) and to do a more thorough check on her teeth.
She has lost a little weight, but the vet said no sign of ear infection, teeth issues and that putting her under an anaesthetic would likely not have a positive outcome due to her age
3. Her head only tilts when shes had a good shake of the head and clearly needs to itch or scratch, smdue to her arthritis she struggles to get her back legs up to her ears anymore so im trying to do that more her as much as i can
Shes stopped eating her mix but still eating everything else fine and drinking and pooing. I dont know if i shpuod take her back again and of i did what id even ask for. Ive soaked her mix in water this eve and she does appear to be eating it as i type so maybe it could be teeth maybe it could be inner ear?!
I just dont know what to do, i thought two trips to the vet might conclude in something positive but it hasnt
