I've noticed since the weekend (so almost a week) that Genever's had an itchy right ear. She'd scratch at it a lot, and shake her head a whole lot too. I checked it out a few days ago and couldn't see any gunk in there or any redness or anything. This morning there was a ton of scratched off fur on the sofa! I know it wasn't from a fight because it was just grey fur, no orange fur, and just on one area of the sofa. So I checked her ear again, and there's a bald spot behind her hear and it's red, from scratching, and inside her ear looks scratched open now. A bit of reddish crusty stuff and a bit of ooze (don't know what else to call it
) in the folds near the outside of her ear. I don't know how else to describe that part of the ear..
Should I wet a Q-Tip and try to clean it, and put some Neosporin on it? Do I need to call the vet about it? I hate that she's itchy, and now probably sore too.
