LOL
What I was saying was that by her having been on so many different antibiotics recently, you want to get to the bottom of this quickly because the bacteria in her body will ALL become resistant to antibiotics if you keep on like this, and it could cause something minor to become something very major if the bacteria have become resistant. Nothing will work on her for any disease.
I would look up veterinary colleges in your area and make an appointment at one of their teaching hospitals.

You can find a holistic vet in your area by googling for one and also from the international veterinary acupuncture society, American veterinary acupuncture association, American holistic veterinary medical association, Chi Institute for vet acupuncture and herbal med, etc.
Dogs with fleas or allergies commonly scratch and traumatize themselves, creating a secondary bacterial skin infection/rash that makes the itch worse, and this is something that needs veterinary care. If skin infection is present, it is treated with antibiotics for 3-4 weeks and mild antibacterial shampoos.
Stem Cell Therapy
Stem Cell therapy is currently being investigated for use in kidney failure. Autologous stem cell therapy which is currently being performed in numerous veterinary hospitals, including my own, is currently advocated for musculoskeletal treatments.

symptoms persist despite all of the above, or if the symptoms only occur during certain seasons, then talk to your veterinarian about referral to a veterinary dermatologist for possible allergy skin testing and desensitization injections for pollen/dust allergies to identify and treat the underlying cause of the itch and recurrent infections, rather than just treating symptoms with medications (veterinary dermatologists can be found in your area by going to www.acvd.
Chinchilla's ears are very important to their thermoregulation. Since chinchilla's normal environment are the mountains of South America, they are resistant to cold and very susceptible to heat related issues, such as heat stroke. The chinchilla's ears function to expel excess body heat to keep the chinchilla cool.
Depends on the medication but I use Costco online pharmacy for my dogs anxiety meds they offer free shipping if your not in a rush and call in refills ahead on time plus they are very cheap. I have been a buyer for pharmaceuticals in our clinic and price shop all the time for the business, my own pets and for clients who have pets on longterm meds. Local Walmarts offer $4 generic prescriptions for certain drugs so they are good for some antibiotics and antihistamines.
If so, ultrasound is supportive of such a diagnosis, but would require a culture of cystocentesis derived (by needle and syringe) urine to prove. In such a case antibiotic medication would be indicated. You did not report their use.
Both mirtazepine and megesterol acetate (Remeron and Megace) are used in such cases as appetite stimulants. You reported using no other medications or treatments.
For example hypertension (high blood pressure) may be a cause or an effect of kidney disease.
The red gums is infection - over time this causes microscopic changes in the body affecting the heart, liver, lungs, and kidneys with kidneys being the organ(s) most affected in cats. Antibiotics cannot work, but only short term - they will not fix the problem. Antibiotics do nothing for the redness (red gums are painful) nor any cavities (painful) present.
Truly only xrays of the teeth can let us know what's happening in that mouth.
There is also the rare problem of rupture of the bladder. In any case, the cat is usually very distressed, and in considerable pain (Imagine how you would feel if you were busting to wee but couldn't)
The only cure for FLUTD is veterinary treatment. Get him assessed as soon as you can to see if this is the problem.
I agree, veterinary evaluation is in order; this may also be an aural hematoma (fluid filling the skin between the pinna and cartilage). Additionally, since your dog's ear problems occur frequently, there is likely an underlying allergic cause (food allergy or pollen/dust allergies), and consultation with a veterinary dermatologist (www.acvd.org) is recommended to help you identify and treat the cause of the problem.
Good luck,

All you can do sweetie, is hope and pray, and put your trust in the veterinary care he is receiving. I am sure they are doing their best for him. When you say "confined" -do you mean the vet has kept him in? If so, I am sure he will be monitored properly, and given the care he needs.
I do hope he will be OK. I have already said a little prayer for him. God bless.
If the itch comes back despite the hypoallergenic diet, then the reason/diagnosis would be pollen/dust allergies (Atopy) and referral to a veterinary dermatologist for allergy skin testing and desensitization injections (just like allergy shots in kids) would be warranted to reduce the steroid need.
Your best bet is evaluation by a veterinary cardiologist at a veterinary teaching hospital, referral clinic or a veterinary medical school. There are no veterinary medical schools in South Carolina. The closest is in Athens, Georgia, and Raleigh, North Carolina. I don't know if these areas are too far for you, but your vet should be able to send your dog to a referral clinic with an attending veterinary cardiologist close to you.
For tough dermatology cases, there are 2 veterinary dermatologists in England, I am not sure how far they may be from your location.
