Upon ex-amination a red, inflamed appearance of the ears, whichhas a hot, feverish feeling, is found. There is in ad-vanced stages a dark brown discharge of blood or pus,foul smelling and offensive. External canker is an ulcer-ous sore, which forms on the edge of the ear, which isassociated with internal canker, but is often caused bythe ears being torn or bruised by brush or twigs, whenit exists alone. It is recommended in the latter case tolance the canker when soft enough, washing clean in allcases with luke-warm water, sponging out the ear well,adding to the water a little disinfectant, and drying witha cloth. A thin cap should be placed over the catshead to keep it from shaking its ears. When the sys-tem is very much reduced a good tonic should be given,and the cat fed liberally with nourishing food, and thebowels regulated with a mild physic.
