Why are my cats still itching their ears and necks after vet visit?

Question

Hi I have 5 cats and they are all itching around neck and ears, also appear to have small scabs around same area. I took one to the vet and was told it was a ear infection, but she is still itching. Could you maybe give me some advice? Thank you so much.. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 16 lbs

Hi there! This does sound consistent with an ear infection or ear mites. I'm not sure if you got any medication from your vet or not? If not, it sounds like you probably need some ear drops to treat the problem, and your kitties may also need steroids and/or antibiotics for a week or two to help the skin heal if the problem is severe. I would recommend calling the vet who saw them in the morning to see what medication they can send home for you.
