My cat is constantly scratching her ears. I don't see any fleas.

[]

Answer

Constant ear scratching in cats, even without visible fleas, is a strong indicator of an ear problem. The most common causes are ear mites, bacterial infections, or yeast infections. Allergies can also manifest as itchy ears. You might notice redness, discharge (waxy or crusty), or a foul odor when you examine her ears. It’s important to have a vet check her ears, as they can accurately diagnose the problem using an otoscope and prescribe the correct medication. Untreated ear infections can become chronic and very uncomfortable for your cat. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
