My cat currently has an ear infection and is being treated with Orbax antibiotic and gentizol. I have been giving her the medication for the past 11 days. She seemed to get better after a few days. I always know when she feels better as her appetite is good. But these past few days her appetite is not as good and she started shaking her head again. It is really frustrating as this has been a problem for the past year. Her last infection was in April. The vet is not sure what is causing the infection. When it first came up last year, the vet took an X-ray to see if there was a polyp but did not see anything. The vet kind of mentioned having an MRI done if this continues. I am really hesitant to do this as it will be very expensive and we still might not know what the problem is.
I will be taking her back later this week for a check up. Any suggestions as to what to ask the vet would be appreciated. Her infections always start with her shaking her head and a stinky ear. In addition, she has clear nasal discharge (which gets flung everywhere when she shakes her head - yuck!). The vet says that it is a middle ear infection and that the ear drum is swollen.
I feel bad for my little baby and just want her to get better.
