Cats love to groom themselves. They are generally hygienic animals that tend to look after themselves. But self-grooming is not the sole answer to keeping your feline healthy. Understand that your cat cannot reach all parts of her body, therefore she cannot clean those areas like her ears.
Other than her skin and mouth, your cat’s ears may also induce a foul smell. Yes, that is right. And this bad odor may be associated with a few medical issues, including the following:
- Ear infections
- Yeast infections (can be caused by allergies)
- Bacterial infections (can be related to polyps, tumors, and allergies)
- Ear mite infestations
There may be numerous reasons why your cat can develop a bad smell in her ears. But it does not mean that you have to give up on her. You may bring your cat to the vet to determine the primary reason why her ears smell. Any sign of an ear problem should warrant a visit to vets Brampton, ON.
