I posted when I first joined that Miss Kitty seemed to have thinning hair in front of her ears. I cleaned them about 3 weeks ago with Malacetic Otic cleaner when I first noticed the thinning thinking perhaps there was something in her ears... she didn't seem to scratch or bother them. She is still somewhat ferral so she doesn't like to be *messed* with much. Well Thurs evening I noticed she was scratching her chin an awful lot so I picked her up and checked (I am bug paranoid and since we found her outside I always panic over fleas) I didn't see anything. The next day I saw head shaking and more scratching so I had mom hold her and I got out the flashlight and really looked down in her ears... OMG poor baby one ear was a little pink with a dot of blood in it the other was full of goo and blood... I got her in to the vet about 2hrs later (i was expecting mites or something really gross) but they did a culture and found nothing. He gave her meds for a yeast infection so we are putting those drops in once daily. He mentioned allergies... has anyone had a cat with ear infection before? If its allergies can anyone recommend a good single protein food to try her on to start weeding out possible causes?
