So I was rubbing my cats ears when I felt something weird. I took a look and wedged in one of the flaps along the edge is a large brown bug (maybe like half the size of a pencil eraser?). I tried to smash it. I tried to pull it out by hand (I don’t have tweezers). Is it safe to try and just leave it and hope it falls out on its own? Im worried about hurting her pulling it off since its so stuck on but she didn’t make any noise when I was pulling on it. Im also not skilled at detailed work so and get super anxious with stuff like this. I get nervous my hands shake and like if Im trimming my dogs fur I’ll accidentally nick him So Im worried like I know tweezers cant knick but they can pinch and I don’t want her lashing out. Should I take her to a vet? Would like a pet co or pet smart or an animal shelter be able to take care of it for cheaper? She doesn’t seem bothered by it as I only just now found it and completely by accident. Then again she didn’t eat lunch yesterday and she ALWAYS eats her food.
if its a parasite and could be harmful to her or me I want to take care of it.
