It’s concerning to see that your cat is still experiencing ear itching despite starting Tresaderm drops. There might be several reasons why this is happening, and it's important to address them to ensure your cat feels better.
- Tresaderm is often effective but doesn’t work for all causes of ear irritation.
- Your cat could have an underlying issue that needs different treatment.
- Consulting with a vet will provide a clearer diagnosis and tailored treatment plan.
There are various causes for ear itching in cats, such as ear mites, allergies, or infections. While Tresaderm is commonly prescribed for ear infections and inflammation, it may not be effective if the primary issue isn't bacterial or if it's resistant to treatment. Your cat may need a different medication or additional therapies. Observing any other symptoms and discussing these with your vet can help in refining the treatment approach.
