Hi guys, so a while back you may remember I posted querying some random red dots in Buttercup’s ears. Well they went away on their own and she got a clean bill of health from the vet (we got her checked out at the same time as Pea’s follow up appointment which was roughly a month ago) Anyway since then I’ve been checking her ears regularly and they always seem to have some sort of scratch in them. Nothing major just like when you scratch your own arm a bit too rough and it leaves a red mark but I’m curious why it’s happening now as I don’t recall her having that problem before. I did wonder if perhaps her claws were left a little jagged when they were last clipped but I’ve not felt any sharpness when she’s climbing/pawing at me. I can’t see anything dodgy in her ears and I don’t think she’s scratching more than normal and she’s not shaking her head or anything. Although today her left ear looks a bit dry and flakey? Any ideas?

Also, she’s not had anymore issues with her butt being soaked after that one off I posted about before but she does occasionally have a slightly damp inner thigh area. It’s not all the time, so I assume it’s just after she’s peed. She’s still peeing in the litter tray and lifting her tail up to do so and doesn’t have any problems physically peeing but it seems to be getting on her legs a little. It’s a normal yellowish colour (altho it looks clear when I mop it up with kitchen roll, it’s actually staining her fur a little yellow) I thought maybe it’s because she’s pretty fluffy down there and I’m just more aware of it now but I don’t think she had stains on her inner legs before, she just had a bit of staining around her butt. Do you think a sanitary shave would be necessary?
