Soo......yep. Another issue w/ one of the new cats....maybe.
Before I took this cat, I noticed she had an open gash on the back of her ear. I was told it was from scratching as she had been treated for ear mites. Oh...ok...no issue for me. She has been treated and the gash will heal. It seemed to be doing well until I noticed the sucker opening again from scratching. Looking in her ears, I saw coffee ground-type stuff that is indicative if mites.
I took some out w/ a q-tip and didn't see anything moving...but didn't know if I should/would see anything if they were still going or not.
HELP!! Would this nasty stuff still be showing if the problem had been taken care of????? Would there be movement????
I am LIVID about now with this stupid Humane Society. Granted, they can't guarantee the health of a pet, but when they see a problem initially, they should TAKE CARE OF IT/finish the process before releasing the animal!!
Not only do I have this potentially, but I had to nearly fight with them about the worm issue they SUPPOSEDLY took care of. I could never even imagine releasing a pet without making sure the issues I treated it for were taken care of. I can see if something else came up after the fact, but this is ridiculous now.
GRRRR. So....about these coffee-ground things....is there a chance it is just dead stuff not cleaned from the ear yet or does it mean they are still there?
