Hi everyone,
I’m looking for advice from someone that might have gone through the same or similar experience as me.
today was our 10th visit to the vet.
so fluffy started in february with an ear discharge,the vet prescribed a wash (trizedta with baytril) , it improved but the discharge returned and it was bloody now.
an ear polyp was discovered.
2-after her ear polyp was spotted it was removed, it crumbled, ear drum was damaged.
3- as ear drum was healing she was given keto ultra wash and baytril ottic drops for 10 days
4- it returned, saw vet again, given another course of baytril ottic.
5- it returned, given a course of zimox ottic 1% hídricortizone. She was diagnosed with a middle ear infection.
6- at the end of the 10 day course her ear started bleeding. Vet again, trizultra keto wash and orbax oral suspension (antimicrobiano antibiotic). Went away, then returned and this last time it was worse than before.
7- her entire ear swelled up, she has a lump on the base of her ear that seems to be fluid. Zymox ottic ply and orbax antibiotic, and she back to eating, swelling is down, and fluid lump is getting smaller.
we have 2 diff clinics aware of this chronic issue. And during. This last sudden and terrible episode, we though she was a goner. She wouldn’t eat or move. Right now she is 70 percent better and quite happy.
this kitty is almost 13 years old, diabetic in remission, has no teeth, etc.
In an honest talk wi th the vet, they said to really find out what is going on they would have to do a ct scann, put her under, then another surgery and this would be possibly a full ear canal removal or they would have to remove a bone on her skull to remove any growth that might be causing issues with her ear, but with her age and her health, that this could be too much.
what advice am I looking for? Have you had anything similar happen to your kitty? How did that go? What kind of treatment was administered? My vet would work with me on any treatment, but if something has worked for you in a similar situation, I would love to know.
