I adopted Bella two months ago, and quickly after that I took her to the vet for a check up. She came with an ear infection that wasn't visible by any means.
It's been two months and it's getting progressively worse even though my vet prescribed daily topical medicine.
Additionally, she's been biting and scratching her fur out on her neck. She has bald patches on her neck, and now her ear has multiple abrasions and scabs from all the scratching. I've only had her for two months and I feel absolutely horrible and terrified that I'm doing a bad job. I've taken her to the vet each time, but it's not getting any better.
She's never once hissed or scratched. I've never seen her aggressive at all, not even after vet visits and giving her medicine (which she hates). She's so mellow and calm.
My intention has always been to keep her and take care of her forever but now I'm worried that I've made her health so much worse. She didn't used to look like this, half bald and full of cuts.
I try to keep her entertained during the day with toys and cat videos on my iPad, but every morning when I wake up she has new scratches. I don't know what to do.
