Hi TCS friends.
I went to my parent's house this evening and noticed one of their cats, 15 years old has something strange on her ear. She has had issues with her ear for a while. My mom took her to the vet on numerous occasions and the stupid vet told her first that all older cats get this in their ears, that it was normal. Then he said it was fungus...gave her some meds and drops for the ears but clearly it has not worked. I'm actually fed up with the vet we have been using for the past 10 years and have found a new vet since my last visit a week and half ago. I dont think he has a clue what he is talking about. I have made an appointment with the new vet but was hoping someone can shed a little light on this issue. Below are pictures of what her ear looks like now.
Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated.
We had to put our other 15 year old cat down yesterday due to tumors/cancer he had in one ear. My mom would be devastated if something were to happen to this cat so close together to our beloved kike's death. She is going to see the vet Monday but in the meantime id like to not worry so much.
