has my cat suddenly gone deaf

[5029]

i dont know, maybe its just ignoring you

[mikewith]

Hard to say without knowing what makes you suspect that it has. And, come to think of it, pretty hard to tell via correspondence over a site like this, how ever well you describe the symptoms. Surely it's worth a visit to the vets?

[j2buttonsw]

I'm intrigued why you say "suddenly": perhaps he (she) has been going mutton Geff for some time.

What, like it doesn't come when called? this is not always an ears problem, - could be a legs problem. [check it's still got four] there's been a spate of weirdos hiding under cars with sharp knifes, [ask snopes]

[gothwend]

It could be ear mite or a thing called gac.

Cats do have a tendancy to be ignorant

[honkytonkman]

It could be polyps (little growths) in the ear canal. Can be harmless, can be nasty. Were it my cat, I'd make a trip to the vet.

[melandraf]

maybe it's all the hot weather we have been having - our cat has been off his food and a little bit narky.

Go to the vets
