AngelinaCat,
Just in case you didn't see my post in your thread about Shadow, I am soooo thrilled to read about his progress. A middle ear infection makes so much sense and antibiotics will completely eradicate it. Good exam on your vet's part (catching the red ear and swollen lymph nodes)...
I am absolutely thrilled to read your post, AngelinaCat! A middle ear infection would be the best of all cases because you will completely eradicate it with the antibiotics. It made my week to read that Shadow has improved so much. Continued prayers and good karma are coming your way for a...

Thank you so much for your very kind reply. I'm sorry that I didn't respond sooner. I just found your reply now.
I am thinking of doing exactly as you have suggested: have all of Pumpkin's records sent to another veterinarian for review. We spoke with the surgeon last Friday and she...
