Hello Everyone! Long story short, I went to the shelter to get a playmate for my kitty - and somehow ended up with a scaredy cat named, "Scruffy". I changed his name to "Mike" so he would feel tougher.
After spending six weeks alternating between the bathroom and behind the dryer, he now has a new "safe spot" in my home office.
My vet confirmed (who knew they still made house calls for scaredy cats?) he has a yeast infection in his ears.
I had been cleaning them with "Oti-Sooth" ear cleaning solution and Tresaderm drops for 7 days.
He started feeling better and actually moved around a little during the day.
One week without treatment and he is at it again.
I did not notice him scratching as much for a couple days. Yesterday he started going at it with a vengeance again.
This morning, the white part of his paws have a brownish tint from all the ear rubbing.
They (the inner ears) actually look better, but he is one pi$$ed of kitty.
He is currently giving me the stink eye (he also has a snaggle tooth - so I am getting the stink eye AND the Elvis sneer).
*I have some Baytril & EnteDerm the vet said I can use. I was just hoping to do something without more meds.
*Suggestions and empathy are welcomed!
Thanks!
Stephanie
ps - Still looking for playmate for Ding Dong kitty (yea, that's her name). I don't want to bring another cat into the mix until I get Mike fixed up.
