My roomie and I have a beautiful black cat who is 14 years young. Almost a month ago she was diagnosed with a thyroid problem and was given medication. The medication is methimazole, and it's in a gel form with 50 mg/ml. We switch ears every day per the instructions. Everything seemed fine until today.
When we woke up, she was holding her ears very low. She was scratching with her hind leg a bit behind her ear but nothing more than usual. We thought maybe she was in a funk but when we got home her ears are still lying very low. No other symptoms really. She's eating and drinking fine. Acting normally other than her ears. Nothing has changed in her routine.
We looked in her ears and gently cleaned it with a small cotton ball. But nothing has changed.
Can anyone tell us what's going on? Or an idea of what it could be? Any help would be greatly appreciated. We don't want to take her to emergency if we don't have to. We are worried though.
