Cat's ears bleed a lot
If your cat's ears are bleeding, it's important to determine which part of the ear is bleeding and what the cause is. If the bleeding is around the ear flap, it is likely due to a lesion in the ear canal that causes itching and self-inflicted scratching, possibly caused by trauma. If the bleeding is inside the ear canal, it may be due to an internal infection. If you notice blood in your cat's ears, find the cause of the bleeding before seeking treatment. It's also a good idea to fit your cat with an Elizabethan collar to prevent them from scratching their ears.

- Middle ear infection: Use Vetracare ear cleaner to clean your cat's ear canal, then apply Epi-Otic, and give your cat oral cefpodoxime for treatment.
- Ear mites: Clean the ear canal with Ear漂 3 times a week, and apply Ear Mite Solution 1-2 times daily.
