Recurrent ear infections in cats can be frustrating and point to an underlying issue. Common causes include ear mites, bacterial or yeast infections, allergies (environmental or food), foreign bodies in the ear canal, or even anatomical predispositions. It's crucial to get a definitive diagnosis from your vet each time, as different causes require different treatments. If allergies are suspected, your vet may recommend dietary changes or allergy testing. Keeping the ears clean as advised by your vet and addressing the root cause is key to preventing reoccurrences. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
