Hamster Ear Infections Explained
Hamster ear infections usually strike the inner-ear vestibular area, unlike cats and dogs, causing odor, discharge, balance loss, and head tilt, and need prompt antibiotics plus a calm, clutter-free recovery space.
My Schnauzer’s coat changed from black-gray to white this year; recently drooling, dry-heaving with no vomit, occasional head tilt and limb weakness, right eye has discharge.

Sudden inability to walk has many causes, possibly neurological or skeletal disease: neuritis, distemper aftereffect, patellar luxation, hip dysplasia. Without distemper-like symptoms, rule that out. Also possible low blood sugar or low calcium, plus brain injury, blood clots, or intervertebral disc disease, often from trauma, aging, or obesity, causing lower-limb numbness and walking difficulty, even incontinence or muscle wasting. Any case needs examination; see a vet promptly.
