Hello!
Can anybody help me to see if Neko’s (5mo old, indoor kitten) ear requires vet attention? He gets this brownish red-ish dry discharge in his left ear (right ear is clean), and looks like the discharge is only in the outer part of the ear and in the crevices. I tried to look deeper as far as I can, and I couldn’t see any dirt. There is no obvious sign of redness or inflammation.
I first noticed this last weekend when he was scratching the ear more often than usual. I found quite a bit of this discharge. I thought that’s normal as I never cleaned his ear since I took him home two months ago. I cleaned his ears with an ear cleaner and he no longer scratches. I cleaned the ears again yesterday, and now there is a bit of discharge again.
I tried to search online to see what normal cat ear wax should look like, and couldn’t find any good and clear pictures. So is this just normal ear wax or possible ear mite?
Thanks!
