My sweet kitty has struggled off and on with ear infections since she was a kitten. I adopted her at about 11 weeks of age from the humane society, and she came to me with ear mites. It took months to eradicate them and now she is 4 - 1/2 years old. It seems like it keeps coming back. The ear swabs will usually show bacteria and yeast when she is symptomatic. We actually had a really good year until a couple of months ago. Entederm generally helps for a while, but this last time she is struggling again so soon. I don't want to use stronger drugs with adverse effects. I'm wondering if there could be something that keeps making this come back. Could it be the brand of litter? (I'm grasping). I have two older cats - 13 and 14 - who have never struggled with any ear issues at all. Any ideas?
