She also looked at his ears with the ear scope thing, I forgot the name, and said that his ear drums look healthy and the dirt didn't look like it was too far down inside of his ears.

Starr was a very scared little boy and clung to me. He still only weighs a little over 6lbs and he'll be 8 months old on Nov.22nd. The vet said that his weight is fine because he's a siamese mix. He's now on antibiotic ear drops for 2 weeks. I have to put 2-3 drops in each ear with his head tilted sideways and then I massage his ears. I can also clean his ears out 1-2 times a week with OtiRinse which is a cleansing/drying ear solution. I can use this on all of my cats.

Hopefully this will take care of his ear problems. I think he's had way too many problems in his young life already. I'll try to keep you updated.
Oh my poor little favourite Starr!!! I haven't even met your cat Starr and I love him to bits! Be a good little boy Starr, Mummy means well and you must be a healthy boy and grow up big and strong. Sit still and be patient while Mummy does what she has to do. It's doctor stuff, you will understand when you get bigger, and be glad that you did as you were told when you were little. Eat all your dinner and stay strong and healthy.
