Can I treat my cat's ear infection at home without a vet visit?

Updated on September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | American Shorthair | Male | neutered | 6 years and 1 month old

My cat has an ear infection. Is there anything I can do from home? He got outside and must've got into an altercation with another animal.

It could be an injury from another cat but it could also be self inflicted due to an ear infection. unfortunately ear infections require a treatment that is prescription only, you will need to take Charlie to the vet for that ASAP.
