I took Dusty to the vet today because I thought she was scratching her ears more than normal and shaking her head.
Vet was able to get an ear swab that they looked at under the microscope. No ear mites, but he says both yeast and bacteria infection. So I have drops to put in twice a day, and an ear wash that they say to use every third day with the instructions to flush each ear. I'm not sure how to flush an ear!
Advice please!!!!
PS. She is very feisty when anyone tries to mess with her body and will attack. I'm not looking forward to this. Vet also wanted to do a blood test, but she needs to be sedated for that. She was so upset that she pooped all over the table and stunk up the exam room. Good thing it was at the end of the day!
She was so happy to be going home that she didn't even meow on the way home even though she yowled all the way there.
