I took a friend's cat named Beautiful to the Vet for her this afternoon because she had told me that she was concerned that Beautiful might have ear mites. My friend is struggling financially and wasn't able to afford a visit to the Vet. today, plus she doesn't own a vehicle, so I offered to take Beautiful to the Vet's office for her, and to pay for it.
ANYWAY, the Vet cleaned out the Beautiful's ears, and got a HUGE black chunk of something out of one of the ears, and a LOT of black stuff out of both ears otherwise. She looked at it under a microscope to check for mites, and said there were no ear mites......it was just a really bad yeast infection!
I have never heard of yeast infections in the ears of a cat! Is this common? She put some medicine in each ear while we were at the office, and prescribed it for Beautiful to get some put into each ear every day until it's gone. I sure hope it helps Beautiful feel better!
Have any of you had any kind of experience with this?
