Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / September 2006Spare purrs for Sabrina's ear
Sabrina has had an ear infection for a year and a half now. We've tried flushing, drops, and several kinds of antibiotics. It just keeps coming back. We have also seen a specialist. My vet thought she better have an MRI to see what is keeping it from healing. The MRI shows an abscess deep in her ear canal near the ear drum. My vet will be doing surgery on her with an ear scope today. Under anesthesia he will open up the abscess, clean it and medicate it. He wants to do this weekly for six weeks, or until it is healing well. My poor Sabrina has suffered with this for so long. I hope this will do the trick, but I worry about her being anesthetized so many times. She is only 3 1/2 years, and otherwise healthy. Please purr and send healing thoughts for Sabrina's first ear surgery. Thanks you. Debbie dberry@mitre.org >Sabrina has had an ear infection for a year and a half now.

Oh, poor Sabrina. :( I certainly hope this will clear it up! Purrs for a safe and *effective* treatment!! Joyce > Sabrina has had an ear infection for a year and a half now.

Sir William went through months of something similar so I feel yours and Sabrinas pain. Helen M Purrs being sent > Sabrina has had an ear infection for a year and a half now.

[...] Lots of purrs that this surgery will do the trick for Sabrina and put an end to her ongoing ear problems. Tweed Healing purrs on their way.

It's so hard to see them suffer for so long and no one can fix it. So not fair. Many purrs that the surgery does the trick! And relax about the anesthesia, even though it's hard. As long as bloodwork is done first, and all precautions are taken (e.g., no food after midnight, or whatever they advise) all you can do is have faith that all will be well. Best of luck to you both, and for TEDs skills.

Purrs that the first surgery went well, and that the others will too. When Betty was first getting radiation treatments, she was also anesthetized weekly, and she was fine. I don't know what they're using for Sabrina, but for the radiation, they used gas, so that she was in and out, like a dentist's visit. Purrs that Sabrina's op. goes well, and sorts out her ear trouble. And purrs for you too... > Sabrina has had an ear infection for a year and a half now. We've tried > flushing, [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > Debbie > dberry@mitre.org Thank you everyone for the purrs. Sabrina did fine with the ear surgery and came home Fri evening. She will have to undergo the same surgery once a week for 4-6 weeks. TED is shaving away at the infected scar tissue that blocks her ear. He isn't sure if she still has an ear drum so he is taking it slow and peeling away at the abnormal tissue each week. The surgery itself isn't dangerous, although she may lose hearing in that ear, but I hate to have her go through anesthesia so many times.

If it is any consolation, the risk of anesthesia is *not* cumulative, so the next time she gets the gas, it will not be any higher risk because she just got gas a week ago. --tension p.s. no, not stomach gas 8^P > Thank you everyone for the purrs.

At least they have better anesthesia now with that gas. Poor baby. How does she feel? > Thank you everyone for the purrs. Sabrina did fine with the ear surgery > and came home Fri evening.
