Thanks! I did what you said(with the Q-Tip) with Tigger, and there was just some light brown stuff on it, wasn't crumbly or anything.Originally posted by QueenScoopalot
Gorgeous pictures! It sounds to me as though they may have ear mites.Take a Q-Tip (I prefer the real ones with the non-plastic core) and swab it into the ear canal (not far) and see if black crumbly gunk comes out. Ear mites look similar to coffee grounds. A pain to treat, but the sooner the better. Cats can get hematomas if they hit a blood vessel in the ear with the kicking. As far as the sneezing they're doing, as long as it's not yellowish/greenish it's not bacterial. If it is, they should both be put on antibiotics to knock out infection.
Hope it's neither one!
And no yellow or green stuff with the sneezes
Tigger will probably still be going to the vet next week, as I'd feel better if he had his ears checked out.
