My cat keeps getting ear infections. What can I do?

[]

Answer

Recurrent ear infections in cats can be frustrating and may indicate underlying issues. Common causes include ear mites, allergies (environmental or food), foreign bodies in the ear, or excessive wax production. It's essential to have a vet examine the ears to determine the specific cause and culture any discharge to ensure the correct medication is prescribed. Regular cleaning with a vet-approved solution might be recommended once the infection clears, but never clean deep into the ear canal. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
