Very greasy ears
*First of all, I have taken him to the vet and made sure it’s not ear mite/any health problem.*
Chestnut is 3.5 years old, and as he grows, he started developing very greasy/dirty ears. I had other cats before but haven’t seen this level of greasy-ness. 😩
- The area behind the back of his ear got this “wet” look from oil buildup (picture), which doesn’t come off from daily brushing.
- He has A LOT of gunk in his ear, brown and oily. It doesn’t bother him but it looks really gross. They also come back quickly after being cleaned.
I use pet wipe and OTC ear drops occasionally to clean up, but just wondering if it’s normal for ragdolls (I assume also other long hair cats?)? Is there anything I should be doing or just accept the fact that he is a greasy boy?
