Cat has pus bubble in ear? - Pet Pad

[Elizabeth] · 11-04-2009, 08:45 PM

So my male cat kept shaking his head and this blood/dark brown stuff was flyin up on the wall. I looked in today to see a small pus bubble had popped in his ear :gag
So I took a q-tip and put some antibiotic ointment in the ear/on the bubble. Then called the vet.

Anyone got any ideas what I should expect tomorrow? or how to make him comfortable tonight? he just keeps shaking his head (I am sure the ointment isn't helping the shaking)

Maybe he has an ear infection?

It smelt rancid. The bubble itself wasn't that big, though I have NO idea how long it had been draining.

that sounds like a bad ear infection, or maybe he got bit by a bug inside his ear. I don't think there's much else that can be done besides taking him to the vet. If he's an outdoor cat I'd probably keep him inside so it doesn't get dirtier.
