Cat Ear Care Solutions

Changes in your pet’s ears should never be ignored. A daily ear exam can help your pet avoid chronic ear problems, which may be a sign of other conditions such as parasitic infestations, thyroid disease, and allergies. Depending on the cause, problems may be limited to the ears, or both the ears and eyes can be involved. 

Each pet has slightly different ear anatomy, and daily examination will allow you to become accustomed to your pet’s normal ear.

- Healthy ears are free of unpleasant odors or discharge.

- Ears should not be in pain.

- Your pet should allow you to glance into the ear without making a fuss.

- Ear flap should be of uniform thickness and not swollen, red, bumpy, or crusted.

- Ear canal should be a pinkish color, open, and clear. (You will not be able to see very far into the canal).

- Ear lining should be smooth and free of exudate or crusts.

Any of these signs could indicate an ear problem and should be reported to your veterinarian. Signs of an ear problem may include:

- Abnormal ear odor

- Discharge of any color

- Bumps, lumps, debris, or crusts

- Changes in the ear or flap

- Changes in your pet’s behavior

- Painful and itchy ear

- Crying when the ear is touched

- Rubbing ear or head on the floor or furniture

- Running when you approach the ear or head

- Scratching at the ear or head

- Head shaking

- Reduction of appetite

- Licking the paw that is used to scratch the ear
