So our 11 year old pup was shaking his head a lot last week and pulled away when I tried to look in ears. Took him to vet and they did a cytology and found I guess bacteria or infection in there. Gave him a cytopack (?) and it knocked out the shaking but within a day, he was/is deaf. No response to trigger words like "Riley", "love", "treat" or "walk". Took him back yesterday and they flushed the ears and said his timpanic membranes are intact. They're aAta loss as to whether this is permanent and total or if he'll regain hearing. Any vets have experience with this? TIA
TLDR, healthy dog is now deaf, we are sad and very concerned.
