One of my cats is a former feral and we adopted her years ago at age 2, she was a feral living on the streets until age 2.
When we adopted her she was perfectly healthy except her ears, they were infested with ear mites and all black gunk. The vets cleaned out her ears and put her on antibiotics and especially the cleaning really seemed to help.
Well, weeks later she was back to shaking her head and scratching her ears, we brought her back in and her ears looked as if they never had been cleaned! The vets gave us a vinegar smelling ear cleaner to treat her at home, but we are unable to do it she hates when anyone holds her ear or neck to try and get drops in she freaks out, we were unable to have success like the vets do.
My cat constantly shakes her head and scratches and fluid always comes out of her ear, sometimes she gets ear infections. I don't know how to get rid of her ear mites, she is almost 12 now and she has had ear mites all her life! Our other cat never got ear mites I don't understand why the mites never die our cat lives indoors.
Now the vets said her canal is narrower and the bumps cats have in there ears, hers got larger and so the passageway isn't as wide.
I don't know what to do for her?
