Hellopppp - 6/29/2010 5:03:50 AM

My Boy, FuzzButt is carrying his ears at 90 degrees to his head, rubbing his ears and shaking his head.
I risked blood shed and deep lacerations to check and he has gunky rust red build up in his ears which I've tried to clean out with cotton buds and warmed extra virgin olive oil.

He is more clingy than usual and refuses to let me out of his sight.
I give him directions but I don't know if he hears me and chooses to ignore me or if he can hear me at all?

This lad is my baby, my friend and my familiar .....he means so much to me....

Can anyone tell me or give me an idea what is happening to him?

Please.

Bent..i would take him to the vet. They are used to bloodshed and it sounds to me that the lil dude might need an antibiotic/antifungal if whatever is going on is causing a behavioral change.

sorry no ideas but second the taking him to a vet. He might be like babies who tug and rub their ears when they are in pain.

Poor thing, I hope he feels better soon

Well first, you CAN'T have Mr. Fuzzbutt, cuz I already do!
Secondly (and more importantly) here's something I found that may be helpful: (p.s. Does the discharge have an odor?)

Cat Ear Discharge:

Sometimes people mistake ear wax for discharge. Many cats produce larger than normal amounts of wax, so be aware that sometimes that is the reason you see stuff coming out of there. However, you can't just be blasé about it. Ear discharge is often a sign of ear infection or a case of ear mites. Wax will generally be light brown - that is OK and probably not something to worry about. Cleaning your cat's ears regularly will reduce this problem. If the stuff coming out of the cat's ear is red, black, or pus (yellow and green and not the same consistency as ear wax - more liquid-like) then it is not OK and you need to see a vet.

What you should watch for is abnormal scratching of the ears. The gunk usually isn't a direct symptom of the disease - the cat scratches, and that repeated scratching causes trauma to the sensitive tissues of the ear and that leads to discharge. This can actually lead to more serious injuries and infections inside the ear canal. Also look for the cat shaking its head frequently, or redness around the ear. You should smell the cat's ears, as well - if there is a bad odor it is a sign of more serious problems.

If it's an ear infection, the usual treatment is antibiotics or drugs specific to the disease. If it's cat ear mites, then there are specific medications designed to kill them off.

Yesterday on The Doctors, they did home remedies. One of them was for ear mites in pets. Turns out olive oil will suffocate them, if you just leave it in there.

Also works to get ticks to let loose...

I'm so panicy because he is my little shadow..he's smarter than any dog I've ever owned..he even insists upon riding in the car with me.

He is so precious ...anyone who has owned such an animal will understand.
He is a Bengal by breed.

Did they say what to do with the olive oil?

i have heard peroxide will prevent a build up of wax...though this probably doesn't help Bent in the least right now.

They had a pet there, and they just put it in the ear. They did say use either a dropper or q-tips. You might could check their website, but I swear that is all they said-lol.

I smelt his ears..and no odor..I think this is a good sign.

He is laying here over my arm as I'm trying to type.
Even in sleep his ears hang at 90 degrees.

We are so bonded..I can't imagine creating or stepping inside a ward without him.

I know this sounds gross, but when you clean that stuff out, sniff it as well. HM does. If it doesn't have an odor at least you're not dealing with an infection. Is this an indoor/outdoor kitty?

Yes Blush,
He is an indoor/out door Kitty.
Tonight and until I can get to the bottom of the issue he is going to be kept inside regardless of the damage to household paint work, reference books, curtains and refuses to use the litter tray and then poops in my closet..
Might have to ask the vet for kitty hash cookies along with his meds for his ears to keep the lad calm while he is kept inside lest he destroy my house and every leather shoe I posses.

Have you called the vet to see what they advise? Surely they can help more than all of us, who can only guess. I hope your little guy is back to normal again soon. I know what it's like to worry about a kitty-pet.

Has he had any fleas? It could be ear mites.

It could be a sticker called a fox tail in his ears. Everytime my doggie baby started acting off, tilting his head , shaking his head, pawing at his ears, he had a fox tail in there.

While oil will get ticks to lose their grip, they will also release saliva loaded with bacteria/virus prior to loosening their grip.
If you find a tick, simply remove it, using something like a special pincer, a tick card, or some other instrument made especially for this purpose.
Never use oil, or glue, or something similar to suffocate the tick, and if you try to remove it with regular pincers, take special care not to press down on the body, as that will also prompt the tick to secret infectious saliva.

Sounds like your Mr. Fuzzbutt has earmites. A trip to the vet is in order.
