Hey all! Any Vets on this board? I have a medical Q...
Dante had an ear infection about a month ago. He'd been scratching and shaking his head so we took him in and the vet gave us some goo to squirt down his ear for 7 days. We did that... but about a week later he came down with a fever so we took him back again and she said it hadn't cleared up and it had given him the fever so she gave us pills to put down his throat for 10 days. We did that, and things have seemed fine for the past week and a half or so since the pills were gone... But now he's scratching at his ear AGAIN! He's an indoor cat, so he has no exposure to mites or anything, and although he loves water I can't think of a time that he would have gotten water in his ear... but last night I noticed him scratching at that same ear once again.
I guess I should just take him back to the vet a third time... but at about $65 a pop this is getting a little bit rediculious. Does anyone have any advice? Is there a "home remedy" or something you could suggest?
THANK YOU!!!
