I just noticed a red, hairless spot on Shortyâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]s left ear. Itâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]s almost looks like a burn and feels crusty to the touch. I have no idea what it is or where it came from, but Iâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]m worried to death! I am keeping my fingers crossed that my vet can fit us in sometime tomorrow, but I was hoping someone here might have some insight.
The only thing we recently did was give him ear mite medication 7 days ago, but I canâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t see how it would be an allergic reaction... itâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]s already been 7 days, and when the vet administered the first round of ear mite meds almost a month ago, nothing happened.
I havenâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t had the stove on and we have no furnaces at home that get hot, so Iâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]m baffled! Heâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]s not scratching at it, and doesnâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t seem to flinch when I touch it. Little Pete sometimes licks his ear as they groom each other, but I canâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t see how some licks could do this. If anyone can think of anything, Iâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]d really appreciate it. Iâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]ve only had the kittens a couple of months and these are my first cats (Iâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]ve only had dogs), so Iâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]m definitely a newbie. The first week I adopted them Little Pete got very sick and had to stay in an animal hospital for 4 nights, so Iâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]ve become a bit of an overprotective mother! Again, itâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]s a red, hairless, spot that is crusty to the touch on his left ear. THANK YOU!
