Causes and treatments of cat ear entrails

Seek medical attention as soon as possible for ear mites and otitis to protect your pet’s ear health

Cleaning your cat's ears is an essential part of daily care. Common ear problems in cats can be caused by ear mite infestations, earwax buildup, or even ear infections. Understanding the symptoms of ear odor, redness, swelling, and scratching in cats can help owners detect any abnormalities early and prevent further damage.

Common Causes of Ear Injury in Cats

1. ear mite infection
   Ear mites are a major cause of scratching and ear odor in cats. They multiply in the ear canal, causing a dark brown discharge and redness and swelling. If left untreated, they can lead to severe ear infections in cats.
2. Earwax buildup
   Cats' ears naturally secrete earwax, which helps protect the ear canal in moderation. However, excessive earwax accumulation can make the ears dirty and become a breeding ground for bacterial and fungal infections.
3. bacterial or fungal infection
   When the environment inside the ear canal is moist or injured, it is easy to cause bacterial or fungal infection, resulting in redness and swelling of the cat's ears, increased secretions, and even odor.
4. Allergy or foreign body invasion
   Allergies or foreign objects (such as grass clippings) entering the ear canal can also irritate the ears, causing ear discomfort and inflammation.

Symptoms of cat ear abnormalities

• Frequent scratching of ears or shaking of head
• Unpleasant odor or increased ear discharge
• Red, swollen, or inflamed ears
• Cat appears restless or distressed
