My puppy was diagnosed with an ear infection last Sunday been giving drops of gentizol. She is due for her second round of shots tomorrow. Do I have to wait till she is done with the he gentizol before going back for her shots?

Hello, and may I say, Jewel Taco is one of the best dog names I've come across today! Since an ear infection is generally not a systemic infection (one that involves the entire body), it's probably just fine for Jewel Taco to have her shots tomorrow. Your vet will let you know if he or she doesn't think it's safe, so be sure to let them know how Jewel Taco's ears have been responding to the treatment. Good luck tomorrow, and I hope Jewel Taco's ears get better quickly!
