History. In December, a 4-year-old, neutered male, indoor domestic shorthair presented with chronic (3.5 years) otitis externa and otic pruritus. The owner reported that the problem was year-round, but clearly worse in summer. The cat had been obtained as a kitten from a farm and had ear mites at the time of adoption, which were successfully treated. At about 1 year of age, it developed mild pruritus of the ears, characterized by scratching and rubbing. The ear canals initially appeared normal except for a mild increase in ceruminous discharge.
