2/3 would not eat any breakfast, poop is still very light and runny. The rest of his BEAM is fine. Dr. Lazarus said "Concerned either for a tmj problem or a neurological problem Usually
needs a ct for complete exam- this is best done at a specialty center that has ct capability." called Dr Carmichael, they have no openings until end of March, called Animal Hospital of NYC - first appt is 6/2... I am on Carmichael's waiting list.

Thanks for letting us know. I'm sending positive thoughts for an earlier appointment!

at the suggestion of Dr. Jeff. I set up an appointment with Dr. Lazarus tomorrow for a sedated thorough mouth exam which will require I leave him at 7:00 am and not get him until 3:00 ...I am having a very hard time with this?

I understand being worried leaving the little guy. It makes sense to have a thorough mouth exam as soon as possible, to see if there is something that can be done straight away to help Murphy's discomfort.
He should do just fine; he is a sturdy fellow, and there is no history of problems with sedation in any of his relatives that I know!

Hi, how did you administer the Belladonna? I’m having a similar situation and not sure how to give it to my 1 year old fur baby. Thank you ?

Hi, my baby who is now 10 months also came down with red ears, was scratching at them and succeeded in scratching the inside of her ear. The vet smelled the ear, (no smell) did not look into her ear as he feared pulling on the ear would cause pain, so he determined by looking at it there was an ear infection. He prescribed Posatex ear drops once a day. His assistant administered the first dose. The next day, she seemed better, not shaking or scratching at her ears so much, (but still red and painful looking) so we administered a second dose. A few hours later she was losing her muscle coordination in her back leg. The leg would cramp and stick straight out for a minute or two. I administered mag phos for this muscle spasm and her leg returned to normal. The ear still red, I decided to utilize belladonna 30c as the redness was deep and it looked painful. After one dose the redness went down about 50%; after the second dose a few hours later, the ear cleared up. She has since had one recurring incident after eating a dehydrated chicken treat. Once more one dose of belladonna cleared it up. I am hoping that the leg no longer has any residual effects from the medication Posatex. I will follow your lead with adding the pureed veggies, as I have been adding steamed veggies. Also if you can share which salmon oil you use, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks for making your first post Miriam.

You may want to first assess (or get our help assessing) the overall state of your pup. To see what the red ears are really trying to tell us in context.

The way you administer a homeopathic medicine does not address the bigger question of how can you help your pup feel better.

Perhaps start a new thread with questions after you've done the HA! 101 course which is in your member area.

Here's the kind of context that can be helpful:
