I need help with kitten ears
Hi all.
Zee B, my 4 month old black moggy seems to have a problem with one of his ears. It is going to be difficult to try and describe it, but here goes .... His left ear flap seems to have developed a raised arch, sort of like a ridge that follows the tip of the top of his ear on the inside. Also, there are a few raised patches further down the ear flap too. I have done some research on the net, but all I found is ear mite, but there is no dark discharge & he isn't scratching his ear or shaking his head. . I also read about cat allergies and am wondering if this could be the cause. Does anyone know what it could be ? TIA |

Is there anything new like a new kittylitter, any different cat foods that are new?? Should get it checked out by a vet. |

I can't think of anything new I have given him. I shall take him to the vet & let the group know what he comes up with. |
