Feline cystomatosis cysts or Cat Blueberry Ears

I'm making this public to help more cats suffering from blueberry ears or Feline cystomatosis cysts.

If you Google feline cystomatosis cysts, you will see images of a cat's ear full of little or large blueberry cysts on the inside and outside of the ear. This isn't fun for the cat, the bumps itch like crazy, and the cysts bust open constantly. Sookie was scratching so badly that her ear would bleed. 😭😭

I posted in several cat groups to see if I could find help, but no one commented, so I figured it had to be a rare condition, but it's not; hundreds of cats suffer from this.

I turned to Google about every other week to see if I could find her any kind of help. I found that carbon laser surgery would take them off, so I had to find a vet who offered the service. I called all over Nashville and found none that offered this.


Several months later, I Googled again, and an alternative medicine
 vet in Franklin came up. I called, and sure enough, they offered help for Cystomatosis, so I quickly made an appointment for her. After examining Sookie, the vet gave us some medication to put in her ears, two rounds, one that day and the other in three weeks. When I took Sookie back to my regular vet after four weeks, he was amazed; her ears had only a few blueberries left, and after several months, they were all gone, and now, several years later, they have never offered to come back.


If your cat is suffering from this, don't give up, keep Googling, you could get lucky like I did. If you live in or aorund the Nashville, please make an appointment with the link below.

In the images below, you can look closely at Sookie's ears and see where the cysts were in the second image, and in the third image, you can see one cyst still left.
