Otitis

Otitis: Inflammation of the outer ear. It becomes reddened, there is an excessive flow of wax, and the cat tends to scratch its ear more than normally. Regular cleansing of the ear can prevent the onset of otitis, which is encouraged by the presence of eczema, mange mites, or foreign bodies. If untended, otitis may lead to deafness.
