<div dir="ltr">Welcome to the group, Corrine. I am very sorry about your kitty's diagnosis but we are here to support you and her. I don't have any experience with ear yeast infections in cats but others on the list may. If you are also on Facebook there is an "Owners of FeLV+/FIV+ Cats" private group that is pretty active too. </div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Sep 7, 2016 at 10:24 PM, Corinne Shank <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:cms9323@hotmail.com" target="_blank">cms9323@hotmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">My cat who is 7.5 years old has had on and off yeast ear infections for the past 2 years. After the last infection that did not respond to treatment, I asked the vet to see if she had any immune deficiency issues as I had read that yeast was opportunistic where cats have a suppressed immune system. Unfortunately the test for Felv (Elisa) came back positive. I am just devastated as she is my little princess. When I got her as a kitten, she had tested positive but tested negative a month later. I was told that if a kitten tested negative after positive, that she had shed the virus and would be free of Felv. I guess that is not the case. I would have never brought her home if I had any idea that she was positive as I have another cat who was and still is Felv negative.<br>
<br>
So the problem I have now is what to do with her ears. The vet said to use Gentizol every couple of days to keep the infection down. Are there any other recommendations?<br>
