I have noticed lately that my cats head stinks really bad. It smells like he stuck his head in trash can. I have also noticed that he has been scratching at his right ear to the point that its bleeding.

Answer
Hey !

Sorry for the wait so many questions....

Anyways your cat has Otitis Externa, only your vet can treat this ear infection disease because it could be caused by a number of things ranging from parasites,bacteria,allergies,trauma,foreign bodies, or the ear environment. The treatment is going to depend on what caused the ear problem and what secondary conditions are there as a result. Antibiotics are used for bacterial infections and antifungals for yeast infections. Glucocorticoids such as dexamethasone are often included in these preparations to reduce the amount of inflammation in the ear. Ear problems caused by a systemic disease such as a hormone abnormality or allergy must include a therapy that treats the whole cat, such as hormonal replacement or allergy testing and hyposensitization (immunotherapy).The key to healthy ears is to keep them clean. Check your cat's ears weekly. A slight amount of waxy buildup may be present in normal ears. Treat any underlying condition that predisposes your cat to ear problems.Remember, if your cat is showing severe discomfort, the ears have a bad smell, or the ear canals look very abnormal, do not delay in contacting your veterinarian. If your cat has a ruptured or weakened eardrum, some ear cleansers and medications could do more harm than good. I hope I've helped. And dont forget to call the vet.
