What is in my cat's ear?

Veterinarian No. 1 initially suspected ear mites, which they treated with a solution. It helped for a short time, but then a swelling was discovered in the ear.

Veterinarian 2 referred me to a clinic.

At the clinic, veterinarian 3 said it wasn't ear mites. The tumor was removed, and on her advice, I should continue treating her ears with the solution until they were empty.

The surgery was two months ago. The solution has been used up.

She seemed to be doing well until she started excreting occasionally.

Due to work reasons, I had to leave the cat in care for two weeks and when she came back today, it was worse than ever.

The entire ear is brown on both sides, full of smelly residue and occasional white creamy pus.

Are these ear mites?

It smells like a carcass.

it is, of course, a pleasure for me that you indirectly confirm once again how little animal-protected with cats have,

from the excretion, so much for ohrmilbes

but it can be ohrmic + ohr infection with bacteria, you have to look more closely into the ohr,

animals hate the ohr treatment,

unfortunately, you only know the choice of a completely new veterinarian, you the old I wouldn’t go,

for ohrmilben I accept advocate spoton, but there are 2 medium in it, moxidectin and imidacloprid

the moxidectin eliminates the mites,

Ui, no… ear mites are quickly fixed…and do not look so rough. They often get kittens and they’re fixed in the nut… just like worm attack…

But never looks as rough as what your cat has in the ear, despite the treatment of ear mites… which usually works immediately.

Although our kittens were never affected by this…but I already got animals with such an infestation that had just been fixed in a nut and didn’t look so rough.

Hello,

What does my cat have in the ear?

Oh, my God, that looks really bad!

All of her is brown on both sides full of sinking remnants and isolated white creamy pussies.

Are these ear mites?

No, they won’t be ear mites. This reads after middle ear infection/expansion with a persistent bacterium. Jeez, that your acquaintance has not acted in time is a mystery to me.

when she came today, it was worse than ever.

I assume that your cat will have severe pain, possibly also grieving, keeping your ears visibly different than otherwise and certainly not looking happy.

I would pack the cat in the morning and as an emergency acute patient in a veterinarian’s practice with various veterinarians and themes “stop” and also make a smear.

I see urgent need for action here.

Addendum: Apparently, your cat is also exposed to immense stress due to multiple omissions to other places and humans + permanent ear infection (multiple smears, multiple antibiotics + surgery). Under these circumstances, it would certainly be very useful if the perser cat could come to rest and remain stable in their home in order to be able to fully recover.

Especially for cats it is immensely important to have a usual environment for rest, even if they always like to have other sleeping places at home and re-us their smell elsewhere and claim an area for themselves.

In an apartment without a single smell of itself…a torment, which is like changing the circle of friends every day and having to explore the new apartment/house there.

The veterinarian will answer that. I’m typing on mites, but I wonder if You’ve seen what’s not i.o, but not to the veterinarian.
