My cat's ears are getting bitten and bleeding. How can I help her?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Mediumhair | Female | spayed | 2 years and 8 months old | 5 lbs

She keeps being attacked by misquotes on her little ears to the point she sometimes drips blood. What can I do for her?

Hi, thanks for using PetCoach! Are you sure it isn't fly strike? To prevent mosquito bites I would keep Furball in when they are most commonly out (dawn and dusk). Bio Spot Active Care flea and tick spot on for cats repels mosquitoes: https://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=28169 Have a good day!
