Yes. She needs to be seen.
She is there now, they say it is a nasty fungal infection in her ears, they are cleaning them and have given me some mutti (meds) to apply.
More than a single episode of vomit? Foamy? Undigested food?
Are you taking her to the vet today?
No, single episode, I think referencing the above she is very stressed about her ears, and the testing doesn't help as they are inflamed - they have been getting worse, although I've been cleaning them as directed but a stronger intervention is needed. She basically threw up what she ate this morning. She also hasn't been really hungry yesterday and today, but I think again down to the ears.
They want me to bring her in for sedated ear cleaning again (after today) after 5 days and then again after 7, then do daily applications of the meds (miconazole) which I've been a bit cautious with - but apparently too cautious (they told me not to let it get into the ear drum as it could cause deafness).
Good news is that on the culture slide we couldn't see any ear mites, 'just' the fungal infection, so hopefully if we can get that under control it will help.
He suggested testing a bit less for now (pre shot tests) and maybe trying to test from the tip of her tail instead, as she has started hiding from me and reacting really badly when I test. He says we don't want her to create a long term association between her care giver (me), ear testing and ear pain.
As a result, I want to try to maintain her on the lower dose for the moment unless her BG starts climbing radically - essentially reverting to SLGS until this clears.
I know that we have made great progress, but if I carry on as we have been with tests while the ears are this bad, I am going to end up with a traumatised cat who doesn't trust me at all
