Recently, I adopted my 3rd cat, a 10-year-old boy named Simba. He had been at the humane society I volunteer with for over FIVE years; I adopted him so he could finally have his own home. He's healthy, other than the fact that he has ear polyps in each ear...and has apparently had them for some time. The people at the humane society took him to the vet to get them checked out. Like all vets, they said there were 3 options: the two surgical methods and to leave it alone. Because of his age, they were afraid to put him under anesthesia. I plan to take him to another vet, just to get another opinion, but I was wondering if anyone had any experience with polyps or maybe some advice they'd be willing to offer. He shakes his head a bit and will scratch his head as well; he goes into fits of scratch once he really gets going. Also, if anyone has any ideas on how to make him more comfortable, I'd appreciate those as well. Thanks!
