Nalas Got A Sore Ear, Help!

[Harry&lloyd]

I was just giving Nala some cuddles and basil and noticed her ear looked odd. It's warm to touch, a little bit of flaky skin and very obviously swollen compared to the other one. Can someone give me advice please, I've put a bit of tea tea skin cream on it incase it's itchy but she is completely fine in herself, popcorning, running and eating as normal. Normal looking ear
Sore looking ear. Please help a paranoid mummy x

If it is obviously swollen, I would recommend to see a vet.

Oh that does look sore. I agree she needs to see a vet, could possibly be the start of fungal.

Nalas just back from the vet, looks like a small bite wound but hard to tell as her inner ear is crusty. the vet has given an injection of antibiotics as well as baytril for 10 days and also surolan for the swelling and incase it's ringworm. She currently popcorning around the living room so I think she'll be ok

I hope her ear is better soon.

What a difference a week makes, and she's been a wee star taking her medicine every day
