I can't tell if this is cat ear mites or cat ear wax?

What does cat ear wax look like? I see my kitty scratch only one of her ears. She doesn't scratch the other one a lot. Theirs a bit of less hair near the ears then the other one.Also she's an indoor cat. So, can she still get ear mites? I looked in her ears and I only saw really small pieces of brown(then she meowed and moved away). Its like sticky/waxish. They were on the bottom of her ear. But I think thats ear wax. She has a shot coming up on the 2nd so I will ask the vet then. I have 1 other cat and I checked his ear and he seems fine.(no brownish stuff) But my other cats bigger and harder to handle so i couldn't see it clearly.



Thanks

actually rub her ears...especially the one she is scratching....if she cries they are biting her..they can get ear mites while being an indoor cat...what you can do to treat her that will not harm her is one part vinegar to two parts water..drop some into her ears keep her ear closed and rub it around..whatever it is it will go away...my older cat had some gunk in her ears after we got our newer kitten from the pound..it was mites..we did the dr prescribed meds and the over the counter it didnt work..we did the vinegar water combo suggested by a vet tech friend..it was gone in three days...

Ear mites. The ear is all gooey and smells. And there is a bit of discharge.

Sounds like kitty has ear mites. I'm glad you are taking her to the vet because the mites itch and kitty will scratch at them until her ear is bleeding. Cats don't get ear wax like people do.

You could try cleaning it to see what it is. Use baby oil and some cotton-balls or Q-Tips. But don't try to get anything that you see lodged inside the ear canal. Cats ears are very delicate and can be punctured easily.

I wouldn't chance ear mites, especially if you have another cat. Ear mites are fairly easy to treat but very contagious. If you cat has them, your second cat will have them soon. They sell over the counter ear mite medicine or go to a vet and get some. Make sure you get the kind that kills both the mites %26amp; the eggs. Or you will only kill the adults and once the egg hatch you will have the same problem all over again. Here is a site where you can see what mites look like. http://www.moorevet.com/Feline/ear_mites...



Hope this helps.

the brown wax is bad ear mites....cat ears are usually clear....bad ear mites can cause hearing lost...i suggest using a q-tip (like a human's ear..only the tip of the qtip deep) till u see the vet...

Sounds like ear mites,, it is brown or blackness spots, also they will scratch their ears. If it gets real bad they will start shaking their heads, better have the kitty checked. Than to wait until it gets real bad. because it really bothers the cat.

Ear mites look like brown wax. I would say 100% she has mites.. which will spread.
