Couldn't resist the Lolspeak
Anyway, last week I took Tiny in to the vet because he'd been scratching his ear. The vet diagnosed "allergic otitis" and gave me some steroid-type ear drops. He said allergy testing was available, but expensive.
I'm unemployed--just got fired yesterday... the boss said my disability meant I couldn't do the work. I think I could do it; but she apparently researched it on the Web and got a bad impression. Also, I'm having the dickens of a time getting disability assistance. Apparently HF autistic people are too disabled to work, not disabled enough to get help for it. Go figure.
Anyway, now I need to figure out what Tiny and Baby are reacting to. Both of them have a lot more gunk in their ears than I like to see in kitty ears; and both of them have been treated for yeast infections in their ears. They had ear mites initially, but have had a clean bill of health in that respect ever since we treated them for those.
Food: Purina Naturals (the prime suspect here)
Litter: Fine Feline (off-brand) clumping litter
Environment: An old house, indoor-only, new carpet, last residents (6 months ago) were smokers.
Cleaners: Off-brand cleaner with mainly diluted bleach, no fragrance. Windex. Dishwashing liquid.
Ideas?
