July 12th 2010 18:14
Although it is not as common in cats as it is in dogs, cats can develop ear infections. If you think that your cat has an infection, you want to make an appointment to see your veterinarian so that you can have your cat properly diagnosed and treated.
If a simple outer ear infection is left untreated it can become a middle ear infection, and if continued as untreated, an inner ear infection can develop. Inner ear infections can cause complications with equilibrium and hearing.
Treatment of an ear infection in cats may include prescription ear drops or a topical ointment or cream. You can try various natural ear infection treatments, as well.
