Hi, I'm new here...
The other day I noticed my cat, Oliver, has some fur missing on the back of his right ear, along with the top layer of skin that the hair grows out of. A small spot mind you. Like it's scaling off. Anyone heard of this?
I did do some checking on-line but...I'm just not sure what it is. He is taking medication for an eye problem, one that he had back in April that got better after a while. There is blood in his eye, actually in his eye. At first we thought it was a scratch that we just couldn't see or maybe an ulcer. His vet said it was an ulcer and gave us both an ointment and eye drops. They did the trick the first time, we're hoping they'll do the trick this time too.
He doesn't see too well at the moment (specially at night) because of the blood in his eye, that and the cataracts - that I believe he only has on one eye, yes, his right eye. His other eye looks clear, even reflects light.
Would these things (meds, eye problem) have anything to do with what's going on with his ear? He's an older cat btw.

Oh, and the ointment is called NEO-POLY-DEX.
