Cat Stuff

My poor kitty Carter is 12 years old. A couple of weeks ago I noticed some discharge from his ear and he was head shaking so I took him in. The canal was totally closed and had a growth in it with puss.

Saw the dermatologist today. He has a massive growth of abnormal tissue in the ear. It's bleeding and raw and infected. We're treating it medically for 2 weeks in the hope that the inflammation will calm down and be easier to surgically remove as much of it as possible. Then it will be sent for pathology to determine if it's malignant or benign. She is thinking it's benign but obviously there is no way to know for sure.

He's scheduled for surgery on the 19th.

I'm so worried. He's my first baby.

Thank you all for your thoughts. I'll let you know how it goes.

I have pain meds for him and a follow up for next week to see if the in-ear meds are helping.
