My 3 year old outdoor/indoor cat has been twitching her right ear the past 3 days. From what I've read it's probably mites or an infection. Her every three month Bravecto pill for ticks and fleas was due in a couple of weeks so I gave it to her yesterday as I read that although the Bravecto packaging only mentions ticks and fleas, a test I saw online claimed Bravecto was very good at killing certain types of mites also. Another long shot was that I changed her diet yesterday to a Hill's Prescription Diet food that I give to another cat.
Although I can pick the cat up she won't let me near her ear so I can't see in there. I'm almost certain I'll be taking her to the Vet. If the Vet prescribes ear drops I don't see how I'm going to be able to drop them in.
Maybe someone can suggest some sort of 'restraining jacket' I can buy so I can keep the cat under control for a few seconds while I give her ear drops if necessary? I'd also appreciate any other thoughts on the situation.
Thanks,
Tom
