Ear Mites?
Natasha has never been a cat that's sensitive about her ears. However,
over the last few weeks it's gotten so that any contact with them causes her to flip them (the "make whatever's touching me go away" flip). She also started rubbing her ears on the corners of furniture. She had a checkup last month for her kidney problem (still successfully fighting a holding action on that one!), but since I didn't recall seeing TED look at her ears when he checked her heart and lungs and abdomen, I took her back this morning. Natasha, an almost exclusively indoor cat (1), has ear mites! How the heck does an indoor cat who has no contact with other animals get ear mites??? (1) almost exclusively - in the summer she'll go out on my 2nd floor balcony with me from time to time, to lie in the sun dappled shade of an overhanging tree.

They are incredibly easy to pick up. |

Jeanne Hedge, as directed by Natasha http://www.jhedge.com When I first brought home my Simba he had very bad ear mites, and flees, and worms...he was one sick little kitty. Anyway, I forget the name of it but they make ear mite ear drops. They are like $15.00 a pair and can be purchased at the vets. You put the ear drops in once, let them sit and then wipe out the ears. This is repeated a second time three weeks later. I found this much simpler then using the regular ear cleaning drops every day for at least three weeks. And I have yet to see a return of the ear mites - its been a year. You may also want to treat the tip of her tail and any other cats in the house. |
