Not feeling good/jumpy behavior

Well I made Tuckers first vet appointment with our regular vet and not the one from the shelter we had to visit after we adopted Tucker. He did great with that vet visit so I am hoping that he will do just as good at our regular vets. I suspect an ear infection, as they seemed pretty dirty the other day and he has been pawing at his face and have seen him shaking his head.

Tucker doesnt seem to be acting like himself with Lance, he seems jumpy during play if you can call it play. I am going with my gut feelings. Lance is even starting to seem a bit leary of Tucker. Tucker is jumping at him and when he runs around, seems to be going at Lance. I have had to stop them a few times when they were growling, showing teeth and just not playing nice. :(

At the vet appointment I will also mention to the vet about his nails, I posted about on a different thread. I can not get Tucker into the vet until Wed at 5:30 :( Im thinking I should just keep them seperated until then, so that a fight doesnt occur because Tuckers not feeling well.

Edit: What I mean by jumpy is actually Tucker jumping at Lance rambuctiously and then turns into a chase that Lance doesnt seem to enjoy. It definately doesnt seem like play.

Oh and I forgot to mention that Lance likes to chew on Tuckers ears when they play. Maybe this is making Tucker defend himself?

Okay, so Tucker has an ear infection in both ears!! The vet gave us an ointment to put in his ears once a day. The vet also cut Tuckers nails which were too long, he thinks that their was too much pressure being put on them while walking and that is what was causing the issues with his nails.

I'm so sorry your ears are infected Tucker. I had ear infections ALL the time when I was little. They were dreadful!!! I can now understand why you might be upset at Lance and wanting to lunge at him. I would too. The ointment the doctor gave for your people to put in your ears will help so let your humans put it in your ears without a lot of fuss. That means no wiggling around when they are doing it either. I hope the stuff makes you feel better way fast so you and lance can play all nice like again. That will make your human mommy a lot less worrisome... Love and corgi kisses from me and Kota :D
