About 5 days ago when we were trimming Smidgette's nails, we noticed some odd spots around her mouth that look similar to moles that look a bit smaller than the growth in her ear. I looked up some things online and quickly discovered pictures that look just like the inside of her ear and found it's a type of cancer called ceruminous adenoma. A couple days after that I took her to the vet to get it checked and the vet confirmed it, along with a severe double ear infection. They told me what to keep an eye out for (bleeding, tumors infiltrating the ear canal, which they are not at this time, but if it does, she'll be referred to another vet to do a laser surgery to remove the tumors) and prescribed her 2 kinds of drops, a steroid and Tresaderm and a monthly treatment for fleas because of a tiny minor bit of dermatitis. Aside from all that and needing to lose a couple pounds, Smidgette is in great shape and holding her own.
