Why does my cat have blisters around eyes/ears after thyroid surgery?

This appearance to the ears could have many causes, including ringworm, ear mites, fleas, bacterial or yeast infection, among others. I would recommend having Tikah examined by a vet to determine the cause and decide which, if any, treatment is indicated.

This presentation could be due to a trauma (autotraumatism) or localized spot of skin infection (likely to be caused by bacteria). A check up, appropriate disinfection and possibly antibiotics (oral, topical or in a shampoo formulation) are needed to solve the problem. Disinfection may be started at home with very diluted hibiscrub or betadine or salted water baths. Buster collar may be useful as well to avoid any scratching. Hope this answer was helpful, but please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.

The pictures look like Rico may have a skin infection. This could be bacterial or fungal. I would highly encourage you to have him evaluated by your veterinarian soon. As this is so close to his eye topical therapy would unlikely be safe, and oral medication will likely be necessary. Best of luck and I hope he improves soon. Thank you for using Pet Coach.

With a clean ear canal, the most common cause of tiny bumps on the ear itself is related to hypersensitivity reactions from insect bites. The inflamed and sore lesion in front of Teak's left ear is most likely due to self-trauma from him scratching. The concern is that this skin may be infected from the excessive scratching. Your best bet is to take Teak to his vet for an exam because he may need a course of antibiotics and antihistamines to manage this issue. Be sure that Teak is receiving a high quality flea preventative (such as Advantage or Revolution) monthly because flea bites can also cause bumps on the ears. I hope that all goes well!

The photo is not very clear but I suspect Toby has a wound or a tooth root abscess. Due to the potential for an abscess, I recommend to have him examined by the veterinarian. It’s always best to play it safe. Best of luck and please feel free to post any additional questions.

I would recommend that you have B examined by a vet. These types of spots can be caused by bacterial infection, allergies, autoimmune disease, cancer, fleas or mange, among others. The vet will do an exam and may recommend a skin biopsy to see what is the cause so that B can receive treatment.

Ouch! Those are some major hot spots in that photo. I would recommend having Lili seen by your vet so the area can be clipped and cleaned and any medications such as pain or antibiotics can be given to help it heal a bit faster. I'd also keep Lili from scratching or pawing at it as this can introduce bacteria and more inflammation which can slow healing. If only Lili is affected and you're not noticing other issues like parasites, etc, it is possible there is an allergy underlying. She could be rubbing up against something causing the itchiness, or could have an ingredient allergy to something in her food (or a treat if the spots correspond with intermittent feeding of a treat or wet food). Other issues such as an underlying illness like an immune or metabolic issue can also cause scabbing and skin issues that affect only one cat in the household. A vet visit is a good option at this point both to treat the current scabs and to see if a food trial, allergy meds, or additional testing such as bloodwork to rule out any underlying health issues may be beneficial in finding the cause.
