Hi, anyway, I’d like to know how to tell if an ear is broken because my cat is holding their ear at a weird angle and it looks like it's broken.

    Go back to the vet.

    about 6 weeks, and with some drops and an ointment, I can't remember the name.

    How long have you been treating him, and what are you using?

    Okay, so there's no point going to the vet then?

    He’s just got sore ears... but the meds should do the trick.

    Oh yeah, he’s got mange, but there are meds for it. We went to the vet not long ago.

    So, your cat has an ear infection (or maybe ear mites)... and he’s holding his ear to the side because he’s in pain. You really need to take him to the vet, because ear infections are very painful for them.

    Also, when you touch the top of their ear, does it feel swollen? I’m going to retake the photo so it isn’t so dark.

    Yes, he is scratching, but I’m not sure if he’s in pain; he seems fine in himself.
