G'day
Sugar is my 15 month old Siamese. Just this arvo we noticed this mark on her ear. It's very sore and red which you can see if you look at it from underneath into the light. I won't go into the contortions that went into that little effort. Suffice it to say I wasn't able to take a photo from that angle.
Twice a day Sugar goes into her modified green house for her outdoor time. She's locked in and it's cat proof.There's grass growing in there and weeds etc. A mulberry tree shades it and it's just starting to fruit. There's insects etc including a ground nest of big black ants a few feet from the door. I mention these things in case somebody thinks that therein lays a cause.
The other possibility is that Spike who will be 5 months next week has started to feel his oats so to speak and has been trying to mount her and generally roughing her up a bit. He will be fixed by 0900 tomorrow so that would be an easy solution. But he will be the priority tomorrow. I had trouble finding a vet who will do him before 6 months.
I will be taking her to the vet Friday unless somebody thinks it can't wait that long. I put some aloe vera from the garden on it a couple of hours ago. It seems slightly better and has not got any worse so far.
I've tried for ages to get a photo of it and this is the best I can do. It's flaming hard to take photos of black cats and cat bits isn't it?
