Hey yall, long time no post, but that's a story for another time.
Looking for some quick short term management -- not solutions -- for a bubble in my senior cat's ear that bloomed overnight. Her usual vet office is closed today and I'm gonna call tomorrow, try to get her in asap to get it checked out + drained, but I'd like to make her as pain free as possible til whatever date.
The same bubble's been present since mid summer, but I had her checked out a few times when it was much smaller and more... air filled, I guess?? Since it wasn't bothering her and I was scraping by in my budget, we decided to leave it be and hope it eventually deflated -- and here we are, it's suddenly 5x the size and definitely filled with fluid. Not sure if she had a bad itch she was trying to get with her singular back leg or what, but yeah, this came up real fast.
She tolerates ice on it for short periods of time, and I'm doing my best to give her scritches without bothering the heavy flap. Is there anything else I can do for her while we wait to have it inspected??
