Cat's ears itchy, wounded, bleeding, no vet nearby. What can I do?

Question

Hi. Muming is suffering in an itch on his ears. It became wounded, and bleeding. I put betadine but he kept on cratching. Pls help. No near vet in our place. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | 11 months and 20 days old

This could be due to a specific mite called Scabies as well as UV exposure and autoimmune disease. Sometimes applying an ointment like neosporin helps until a pet can see a veterinarian. You should prevent hil from scratching his ears if possible, keep him indoors and his ears clean with warm water and a very mild soap. Do not give any oral medications as they can be very toxic to cats.
