Hi, everyone!
So my cat is having some issues with her ears. I'm stumped. Even the veterinarian seems to be drawing a bit of a blank. This all started with her eyes, she was having an issue where they were getting dry and flaky, and she scratched so much they would turn pink, like they were getting infected. We've been treating this issue as if it is an allergy and she's been on a hypoallergenic food and cat litter ever since. The problem has started to move around though, its affected her tail, and she now is missing a lot of fur around the base of the tail, as well as the ears.
However, her ears seem to be having an even stranger issue, there's these weird, black specks inside of them now. And no, they aren't a part of her skin, they do come off. We took her to the veterinarian, and she put Advantage on her and gave us Mal-Ket wipes to help both clean and sterilize the ears. She's been on this for a few days, but the dots seem to come back almost instantly overnight. Has anyone seen anything like this before? We'll have to take her to a veterinarian that specializes in this if we can't figure it out.
Thanks for your time. I appreciate any help!
