My 2 yr old cat Lucy has had itchy ears the past few months. When I took her to the vet in May, she showed a minor infection. I was given a solution to treat with, but she has continued to scratch at her ears. Recently, she has developed bald spots on her ears. They have small brown spots underneath. There is no redness or scaliness that is indicative of ringworm. I took her to the vet this morning, who didn’t think it looked like ringworm, and nothing showed up under a Wood’s lamp. We did go ahead and do a PCR test, but I’m beginning to worry this actually is ringworm.
She had ringworm as a kitten and it was horrible having to quarantine her and constantly clean. She’s also completely inside, so I don’t know Where she could have gotten it from. Her ears were completely clean at the vet. Is it possible these are due to ear mites, or a food allergy? She has no other hair loss on her body, and neither does my other cat.
