There could be little tiny parasites taking up residence in your cat’s eat. They are known as earmites. While it sounds like something simple to take care of, you should know that if they’re left untreated, ear mites can cause one nasty yeast infection.

Your cat will scratch and scratch, causing tiny blood vessels in their ears to burst. This can result in disfiguration and swelling, and it could cause permanent damage. Ear mites that are left untreated for long enough can cause a rupture of the ear drum, seizures, and even death.

If you notice your cat scratching, shaking its head this way and that, and digging at its ears, it’s possible that he or she has earmites. But please remember, even if a cat is infested with earmites, he or she may not show any symptoms or signs of it. Often times, how sensitive the cat is to the mites’ saliva can determine a reaction.

Cats can have allergic reactions to the saliva and even with just a few mites, they will scratch and be miserable. If you see any signs at all of fluid in or around your cats ear, or if she is scratching and acting strangely, it is possible that she has cat ear mites. If there is enough reason to suspect this, you should get your cat treated immediately.

You should also know if you have other animals that chances are those other animals can become infested very easily. So if you end up treating one of your cats, you should definitely inspect your other cats for signs of ear mites, or take them to the vet as well. The condition can make your cat absolutely miserable. The sooner she receives treatment, the better she (and you) will feel.
