I took Pepper to the vet for deworming and nail cutting only but she ended up getting ear treatments as well. The vet checked her ears and to my surprise, her ears are too dirty!!! I was shocked because I clean her ears almost every day but since she has folded ears, it’s hard to see the inner part of her ears.

The vet took some samples and put them under a microscope, and voila!! Ear mites!! Yikes!!! They cleaned her ears and gave her medicine. The vet also prescribed ear wash and Otiderm for her ears. I need to clean her ears every day before I give the ear drops.

I also need to take her back to the vet for her second deworming and for her ears to be checked. I need to take her there every two weeks until she doesn’t have worms anymore. Then she can take the 4-in-1 vaccine. Then she has to be dewormed every 6 months after. She also has to take the 4-in-1 vax three times (every 3 weeks), then just once a year after. In her first year, she has to take the anti-rabies vax, then once every year after that. Oh, she also has to take the BioCan M twice every three weeks, then once a year.

Whew!! I didn’t know that having a cat is costly. I don’t even spend much on myself. Hahaha! I should have refused when lola Lolit gave her to me. LOL. Kidding aside, I’ve already grown to love Pepper. She is very sweet and she gives me joy. I need a side hustle! 😂😂😂
