Hello! I am new to this Forum and decided to post to see if there are answers to my questions.
I recently got a new fur baby named London. Adopted him about 4-5 months ago. I noticed a couple weeks ago that he was having wax in his ear. I thought nothing of it until now, where it has progressed to a grainy orange scab with black specks. One of the ears has the grainy scab and a few black specks. The other ear has grayish brown waxy buildup. Both look moist inside. We suspected a food allergy, so we switched him to a limited protein diet of rabbit meat and other ingredients. I'm not sure if this new diet is working or not, since now he has an ear problem. Should I take him to the vet for a cleaning, should I switch to a different diet, or should I do both? He doesn't seem bothered by it too much, but I do see him occasionally try to scratch his ears. He wears a cone because of scratching to his neck and ears.
Thank you for taking the time to read, and if anyone knows what may be causing this please help! It would mean a lot to me and my kitty!
