You biologists, I don't know  ;)

Hope the drops clear up the problem, Liquorice.

I'll have a fiver on ear mites, please (even though a little early in the year), and 50p each way on an infection.  :naughty: Both easily treated, nothing to worry about.  ;)

Hello

The vet said she is in good health and couldn't see anything wrong with her, but he has given us some drops for her ears incase there were mites right inside where he couldn't see.

The drops are called: CANAURAL 3 to 5 drops in each ear. Great fun, my boyfriend has gone skiing, so I have to put the drops in, hated dooing it last night.

J

Where do I collect my winnings??  :shy: :evillaugh:

Do you have to massage her ear to spread it around inside?

My Kylie had a red 3rd eyelid yesterday. I am ready to go to the vet tomorrow but it seems to be clearing on its own.

I don't know why they call it the 3rd eyelid, where is the 2nd one then?  :evillaugh:

I would get her straight to the vet. It could be something minor but I wouldn't take a chance.

Closing eye and shaking head
« Reply #1 on: January 20, 2010, 18:27:23 PM »
Hello

Can anybody help?

My cat keeps closing her left eye and shaking her head as if there is something in ear/eye area. Anybody got any ideas?

Thanks

J :(
