~~My cat has been having spots in his ear that are red and/or inflamed. Sometimes they are puffy, other times they are flat. Also, they go away in about 15-30 minutes. I asked the vet about it and they aren't sure what is causing it. I don't know if it might just be him scratching his ear and it getting irritated. The only thing is that the irritated areas are usually round, not “line-shaped” like I would think if it were from scratching (in the 2nd pic, the top red area is line-shaped, but the red area underneath it is round; it can be a little hard to see clearly because his hair is in the way).
He is on a hypoallergenic diet. He was on a steroid cream that I put in his ear (for allergies). I discontinued use once I noticed these spots coming up in his ear. It seemed to stop after about a week of not using it, but then I saw it again this morning. Does anybody recognize what is going on? If anybody knows what is going one, your help would be GREATLY appreciated.
