One of our cats has a yeast infection in his ears. Okay, now as a woman I have had my share of yeast infections, but NEVER in my ear!! I don't even want to know what he was doing to get a yeast infection there! Dogs get them a lot because they swim and get water in their ears, but this cat lives inside and believe me, we don't have a pool for them. So, now I get the fun of squirting a solution in each ear twice a day, swabbing it out with a cotton ball and then squishing cream in each ear. Now, as you can imagine the cat simply sits there as I do all this and thanks me nicely after.... NOT!!! Have you ever tried to do anything to a cats ear? Believe me this is not an easy process. First I put all the necessary stuff on the table, then go get the cat. Now this cat usually comes right to me, but he senses something is up so goes and hides under the bed. Once he is out I grab him and sit him on the table. Squirt the first ear. He shakes his head violently and all the solution is sprayed all over me and the table. I swab the ear out. He thanks me by scratching my hand and trying to get away. I then insert the cream tube and squeeze. He fights and moves away and starts scratching with hind claws now. One ear down! repeat process. Let cat run. Wash wounds. 12 hours later I repeat the process. And I only have to do this for two weeks!!! If I survive that long. :-)
