Melbcat got seen yesterday due to crying, she looked pretty good healthwise so she’s just going to get the ear wash twice a week to get rid of any discomfort from the ear drops residue. She still cried again at 3am so I’m not sure what’s up. I’m meant to also wash the greasy smears of eardrops off the fur around her ears but the pet shampoo they gave me is quite scented and she’s asthmatic :/

I might wait and ring them on Monday and ask about that. My instincts are screaming at me not to use it, especially so close to her face and sponging with a facewasher… I do not want to be dragging her back to emergency because she’s having trouble breathing. The vet has told me not to use human shampoo even though I have some of the unscented A’kin left… I’d much rather use a single drop of unscented dish soap in a bowl of warm water and wipe off as much grub as I can with that.

It’s greasy otherwise I’d use plain water.

(I do sometimes question the vets because for years they questioned her pain until the causes were found, and years ago they wanted me to keep her on food she turned out to be allergic to. And a little while ago they did send me off with an antibiotic in the Amoxicillin family because they forgot to put her allergy to that on file. So I do hold up and check about things like this.)
