There are two types of normal secretions from cat ears, one is regular ear canal secretions, and the other is a similar waxy substance. The main function of these normal secretions is to protect the ears and prevent dust, bacteria and other undesirable substances from entering the ear canal.
Normal ear canal secretions are clear or yellowish and do not emit odor or cause discomfort. If your cat has a large amount of secretions flowing out of the ear canal or the secretions have an odor or abnormal color changes, you may need to go to a pet hospital for examination and treatment to determine whether there is an ear infection or other symptoms of disease.
No matter what the situation, we should check our pets’ ears regularly to detect and deal with problems in time. At the same time, correct cleaning methods can also help reduce the occurrence of ear problems. It should be noted that pets’ ear canals are very sensitive, and using too much detergent or utensils may cause inflammation or damage. Therefore, you need to consult a veterinarian or professional before cleaning your pet’s ears, and use the correct cleaning method according to the recommendations.
