The other day Yodie walked into the room and the smell was awful! It was her ear, the one that she had the polyp removed from two years ago. Of course, the smelly ear acted up on a weekend, so I couldn't get her in to see Dr. Lee until today.
Dr. Lee said that he couldn't see an ear polyp but she's got a bad ear infection. I asked him again if he was sure that it wasn't due to something I'm doing or not doing. Since Cgirl got the bad skin infection, I've been more fastidious than ever about cleaning the house. He said that Yoda's immune system is compromised, too, just like Cgirl's, one of the hazards of being feral or outdoor cats. So he gave me an antibiotic and 2 different ear meds for her and she goes back in 2 weeks. If she's better, then it's only an ear infection. If she isn't better, then he'll have to sedate her and look in her throat to see if an ear polyp is growing downward instead of upward just like before. But he did say that after 2 years, he can't imagine that the ear polyp would be growing back. They usually start growing almost instantly and in 3 months it's full grown. So I'm holding the thought that it's just an infection. My finances can't take much more. Plus I don't want Yodie to have to go through that again.
