Ear polyps

Hello,

I run a private feline sanctuary in honor of my daughter, who died unexpectedly four years ago. Unfortunately, I live in a rural area perfect for "dumping" animals and the bulk of the population consists of local ferals I have trapped and had neutered.. They are usually vaccinated once for rabies and distemper as I do live in state gamelands and both are present in the area.

I am currently caring for a 8 month old intact male cat, "Lucky". Lucky has not been vaccinated to date.

He was recently dx with ear polyps in both ears. The one on the left is worse. It bled when the vet cleaned the ears for a better look. It tends to produce a "dirty" pale yellow discharge that accumulates at the bottom corner of the external ear. It accumulates as a brownish, "gooey" substance.The right ear is not nearly as bad.

He also has an URI. He sounds congested, but there is no exporation. Noisy breathing when he sleeps. No discharge from nose or eyes. Drinking a little more water than usual, but not excessive. Urination and stool normal.

Good appetite, good energy level. Sturdy build. Sweet disposition, but a bit of separtion anxiety. Lost his mum and littermates, assumed due to coyotes or foxes since none were sick. Doesn't like to be alone, Now likes to sleep indoors.

The vet we saw today believes that either the polyps are left alone and at best, he will experience repeated ear problems. Or an extremely delicate surgery through the neck and skull, with some very real risk to major nerves and blood vessels with possible facial paralysis or worse.

Lucky has been treated with feline URI nosodes as feline herpes (FVR) is present in the colony. I conducted en masse homeopathic worming in November, but the vet found roundworms and wormed him today. Allopathic vet believes polyps and URI are due to virus. Our cats get vitamin and mineral supplement, ester C, probiotics, lysine, MSM, cod liver oil, vit. E and coenzyme Q10. Use high quality kibble (no by-products or other nasties) and home-made wet.

I know there are various remedies that mention ear polyps, including thuja and calc c. But I am certainly appreciative of any thoughts. Thank you.

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
Hello,
I am trying to get in touch with you regarding your post on Dec. 30, 2005 regarding Lucky and his ear polyps.
Please let me know if you are still available to talk about this. I am new to this forum and having trouble writing/sending.

I found your post through yahoo's search engine as I am looking up feline ear polyps (as one of my rescued kitties has this).

Please write me if you get this. It looks like I cannot give you my email address. I am erinskittycats and I have a website and my email is yahoo with that same prefix. But, if it will work to write back to this forum that that will be great too. I have checked 'email me when anyone replies to this post'.

And, I am so sorry for the loss of your daughter. My mother also died unexpectedly. She ran (and now my dad runs) a no-kill dog shelter. We are in Texas, rural area where dogs are dumped a lot.

Thank you,
Erin

Hello, I have been researching feline ear polyps and came across this thread which is some years old. I am interested to know what happened to your cat Lucky, what was determined to be the source of the ear polyps (virus, etc) and if alternative treatments helped his ear polyps what treatments helped.

I adopted a young female cat from a high kill shelter. She had a very large infected cauliflower like polyp that completely filled her ear canal and outer ear. When it was surgically removed, it measured approx 1 3/4' length from the stem root.

Unfortunately the polyp has returned, is small at this point but growing.
For the past 2 weeks she has been on a combination of Chinese herbs and homeopathic oral treatments but the polyp continues to grow. One vet recommends another pull surgery to get it out while it is still small.

The current treatments are:
Stasis breaker and Wei qui booster Chinese herbs, and calc c 6 days a week and teucrium one day a week.

I know that in some homeopathic treatments, a condition may get worse before it gets better. I'd like to give these treatments a little while longer. However I don't want to put her at risk if the polyp (origin unknown) continues to grow.

Does anyone have any insights on these kinds of polyps and hiw best to treat them so that the underlying cellular cause can be cleared up rather than her facing potentially innumerable polyp removal surgeries with increasing risks?

loves cats,

On the basis of the symptoms reported for your cat i think that merc sol or hepar sulph may help her.

You may give her 1 pill or drop of merc sol 30 twice a day with some water for a week. If this doesn't help you may give Hepar Sulph 30 in the same way.

Dear kadwa,
Thank you for your reply and suggestions. I am interested to understand why you suggest these two remedies. What is your thought on cause and cellular nature of this recurring ear polyp-like warty mass that seems to be rooted from her inner ear? Thank you.

A homeopathic remedy is suggested on the basis of observed symptoms. If the remedy works it corrects the underlying pathology. In this case merc sol and hepar sulph seem to be well indicated.

Kadwa,
My cat has the same problem. Are these remedies applied topically or orally? Also is it 30C or 30X?
