Everyone loves beauty. Many people not only want to dress themselves up beautifully, but also want their pets to be beautiful as well. Under the influence of this trend, pet grooming emerged as the times require, using superb skills and unlimited creativity to give pets beautiful looks. So how should you care for the ears of a cat with folded ears? Today, the editor will bring you how to care for the ears of a cat with folded ears.

How to care for folded cat ears:

If there is inflammation or black dirt on the cat’s ears, it is abnormal. When black dirt appears in the ears, it may be ear ticks (ear scabies) or otitis, and you need to go to the hospital. If the dirt is on the surface of the ear, you can remove it yourself; if it's in the ear canal, ask your veterinarian to remove it.

Necessary supplies: Baby oil bowl and cotton cloth

Preparation: Cleaning cat ears requires baby oil, a small bowl and a few pieces of cotton cloth.

Check cat ears: When checking cat ears, be sure not to stuff anything (including cotton tips) in because cat ears are very soft.

After checking that there is greasy black dirt on the cat's ears, use a cotton cloth dipped in baby oil to wipe off all the dirt inside the ear. Handle with care when cleaning. If you scrub too hard, you may cause discomfort or even injury to your cat. Gentle movements and circular cleaning.

How to determine whether a cat with folded ears has ear mites?

When a cat has black ears, it may be scabies. Usually, cats only need to shake their ears to naturally remove ear wax and moisture, so owners do not need to clean their ears frequently. When the ears are very dirty, dip a cotton swab in baby cosmetic oil to clean the dirt in the ears within visual range.

But when a cat often scratches its ears and shakes its head, and at the same time there is a peculiar smell (sour smell) in the ear canal, you should be vigilant at this time.

First, check the cat’s ear canal. If you see multiple red rash-like nodules at this time, it may be that the external auditory canal is red, swollen and inflamed due to irritation caused by ear mite saliva.

Secondly, the waxy substance secreted by the sebaceous glands of the external auditory canal accumulates in the cat's ears. The color and appearance are like ground coffee beans. The color is dark brown.

Then observe whether the auricle is extensively infected, has obvious scales, and is hyperkeratosis. Examine the ear canal with an otoscope and you will find small, white or flesh-colored cat ear itch mites moving on the brown exudate. At this time, it can be confirmed that the cat has ear mites.

If you don’t have an otoscope, you can also use a small LED light. If the owner holds the LED light and shines it at the cat’s ear canal, you will see crawling bugs, which proves that the cat has ear mites. Usually, cats with cat ears have obvious ear pain and tenderness, and refuse to check the ears.

After reading the above methods of caring for folded-eared cats’ ears, I believe that every friend who raises folded-eared cats will have a certain understanding of folded-eared cat ear care.During the care process, you should carefully check whether the dirt on the cat with folded ears is normal. If you have ear ticks (ear scabies) or otitis, you should send it to the hospital for prompt treatment. I hope the above content can give you some help.
