Hello everyone,

I have a lovely 16 year old cat, but lately We've noticed that she has a red patch on the outside of her ear. There is hair loss and it looks as though she has been scratching at it.

We are going to try and get a vet to come do a house visit to look at her, as she is absolutely terrified of pet carriers and we think it'll do more harm than good trying to get her to the vet ourselves.
I've added some photos, any thoughts on what it might be would be great!
She is a strictly indoor cat, as our last one got hit by a car.

Sorry for the double post, it wouldn't allow me to put both pictures in the one message for some reason.

Yuck, sorry I looked at it close up.  It looks like some sort of skin infection, possibly aggravated by the scratching.  Your vet should be able to help!
