Why is my pet's one ear warm and the other ear cold? Is it an infection?

Question

One ear is warm and the other one is cold. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed

Jennifer Summerfield, DVM CPDT-KA · Accepted Answer

Often, if one ear feels excessively warm compared to the other, this can indicate an ear infection or some other problem causing inflammation in this area. You can look in Luvbug's ear to see if you see any yellow or brown-black discharge, which would indicate an infection. If so, she should be examined by a vet since she will need prescription ear drops to treat the problem.
