Bleeding behind ear

[LittleG69]

One of my cats has been scratching behind his ear. It was bleeding yesterday but scabbed overnight but he’s just caught it again and pulled the scab off and it’s a bit of a mess. He’s got an appointment at 8.15 tomorrow (couldn’t get in today) but is they’d anything I can do? I wonder if he’s got ear mites as he keeps flicking his ears. I feel really bad for him and it looks dreadful.

His jabs and flea treatments are up to date. Should I just leave it til the vet can see it tomorrow?

You could bathe it with salty water to tidy it up a bit. Use cool boiled water from the kettle. Hope he's feeling better soon.

Thank you MsMims I’ll give that a go soon. Just don’t want to make it worse but that sounds sensible
