We had an interesting case this week involving a very sweet young kitty named Brat! ❤️
Brat was experiencing significant discomfort in one ear. Upon examination, we discovered an inflammatory aural polyp within his ear canal, surrounded by purulent discharge.
Feline inflammatory aural polyps are benign (non-cancerous) growths that typically originate in the middle ear or auditory tube and can extend into the ear canal or back of the throat.
Brat was sedated, and we were able to completely remove the polyp and thoroughly flush his ear canal. He received pain management and antibiotic therapy, and we’re happy to report that he is recovering wonderfully!
Cases like Brat’s remind us why early evaluation and dedicated feline care are so important. He’s one lucky kitty to have so many people looking out for him! 🐾❤️
Feel better soon, Brat! See you at the recheck!
