Oh oh, Espy has blue things in his ear
He's had some sort of stuff in his left ear before. A few months back
the vet prescribed a combination antibiotic, antifungal, and steroid drops. After a week or so it got better. But lately it seemed to come back so I took a good look the other day and saw some blackish stuff and what appeared to be, well, blackheads but actually bluish. Blue bumps. I took him to the vet yesterday and the vet noticed that there also seems to be one in his right ear. The vet says that he has seen them before but doesn't know what they are! He says that you can't remove them from the ear because there is no skin to work with, to sew back up. So it isn't easy to biopsy (I hate that word). He said not to worry, and he was going to a vet conference the next day (that would be today) and would discuss it with the other vets. I'm to call on Friday to find out what is up. I am concerned of course, as Espy is my favorite. He's the smart one and the ringleader if there is to be trouble. He's now 10 years old so no spring chicken any more; it's hard to believe that I've had him so long. Well, hopefully there is nothing major going on, I suppose if it was something bad then more would be known about it. Looking up "blue bumps in cats ear" doesn't turn up too much. |
