Has anyone had any experience with a ruptured ear drum in their cat??? We had persistent ear mites in two of my adult cats. The vet needed to clean their ears before he could re-do their mite medicine. He accidentally ruptured one of Iggy's eardrums! I know it "can happen", but my poor Iggy!!!
He was in the hospital for a full week, and finally came home yesterday. He can still hardly walk as he's so off balance, and his third eyelid is still constantly showing. Our vet said it will take some time but he feels he's got a 95% chance of a full recovery.
I'm just wondering if anyone's had a similar experience.
Is there anything I can be doing for him other than the antibiotics and prednisone he's currently on?
Any input is greatly appreciated at this point.
Thank you.
Diane
