I would take her to the vet right away, or first thing in the morning anyway -- that is enough of a reaction that medical attention is needed. No guessing. Could be different things. Better to take her to the vet where he can take a scraping, use those special lights, look under a microscope, see it up close, and made an educated opinion about what it really is. I am concerned as you mentioned the inner ear is red and showed pics of the outer ear being red and hair missing. I suppose just the act of scratching could be making both sides red. With no smell or residue in the ear at all, it makes me wonder against ear mites, yeast, or the normal ear problems. Are you sure there are no fleas?
The vet will probably want to know about other symptoms, any changes in diet/bedding/grooming products/household cleaners & even new furniture or rugs. Any evidence of fleas? Been in unusual environment of any kind? Come into contact with any unusual substances? If their are known allergies, has their been contact with the allergen? Any temperature? Change in eating, drinking, peeing, BMs, or temperament?
You say this has been going on for a couple of weeks but "of course I will run to my Vet asap" -- I think "asap" has passed a while back and now we are at NOW! You also express concern over the expense of "treatments" and ask how much can the "treatment" cost -- WHAT treatment do you mean? Is there something specific you think it is? What sort of treatment are you thinking she needs? Please do not continue to worry over the cost of a treatment she may or may not need. This little one needs to see a vet today! |
