When the vet did scope her ears he did say one didn't "look" right but we'd just watch it, she was treated with Mometamax. He also said it was possible a piece of wax had fallen into her ear canal but never mentioned Labyrinthitis. We didn't culture the ear so I don't know specifically what infection she had.
Slightly off topic, but all related. ALWAYS do a culture. If you go ahead and look at it under a microscope, you'll see exactly what is there, and can treat that issue, and not need to use a broad spectrum drug like Mometamax. (side effect: hearing loss. It is an anti-bacterial: Gentamicin, anti-inflammatory: Mometasone Furoate, and an anti-fungal: Clotrimazole) JMO.
Also, if she knows 'heel' on the left, you can always hold the leash in your right hand, with the leash going behind your back.
wish i had a video camera to show it, but she will smetimes stand up to get a better look, sometimes she will hop a few steps but when she does it she is not always reactive, I guess to rethink it she is in a state of alertness, so I guess arousal but when she is anxious or excited her hackles will go up when she kangaroos her hackles are flat... does that make sense...
I know exactly what you mean. My MinPin (in fact maybe ALL MinPins) do that. It's like she wants to get a better view. Mine walks with a prong and has learned to stand and hop on her hind legs for a few paces without letting the slack out of the leash.
I have not corrected her for this because I think it's cute myself, but ultimately I know I should although I don't feel it is much of a problem at this time . . .
