I recently rescued this cat from the woods outside my parents house. Although I am not a cat lover by nature - she has completely won my heart. I am planning on taking her to the vet however I was hoping to find out some information.
She seems to be relatively healthy - and flea free - however she has these smallish red blotchy bumps all over hear ears. She has been rubing her head so much that the bumps are oozing a little bit of blood and clear liquid. They are on the outside of the ear. The inside of the ear looks relatively clear.
Initially I thought it was mites but I am not sure.
Also - I am not a big fan of the shedding of the fur everywhere. I went out and bought a cat brush and have been brushing her fur every time I am home and around her ( I have only had her two days ) is there anything anyone can recommend to lessen the amount of fur she sheds or is this something I am just going to have to deal with?
Thanks for any help and advice- its much appreciated!
