Cat with hyperthyroidism, asthma, potential kidney disease w/ cardiomyopathy, now ear infections that won't go away with antibiotics

Hello there,



I'm sorry to hear about all the health challenges your cat is facing. It's clear you're doing your best to take care of them, and I’m here to help. Chronic ear infections can be frustrating, and they might be linked to your cat’s other health conditions. Cats with hyperthyroidism or a compromised immune system, possibly due to kidney issues, may be more prone to infections. Also, various heart conditions, like cardiomyopathy, can add to their stress levels, potentially affecting their recovery.



At home, focus on keeping their ears clean and dry. Use a vet-recommended ear cleaner, and be gentle to avoid irritation. Monitor for any signs of discomfort, such as head shaking or scratching, which could indicate that the issue persists.



Keep an eye out for serious signs like discharge with a foul odor, balance issues, or unusual lethargy, as these might indicate a deeper problem needing immediate attention.



Given the array of health concerns, I recommend booking a video consult through Dial A Vet. This way, we can evaluate your cat's overall health context and tailor a treatment plan that takes all conditions into account. We're here to support you and your feline friend every step of the way.
