Removal of an ear mass using a video otoscope.

Before

This is a mass deep in the ear canal of a cat. It had been non-responsive to medical treatment for a few months, and the cat continued to develop ear infections. 

During

​This is after removal of the mass.  The red is a little blood from where it was attached.  The brown is some remaining wax and debris that was trapped behind it.  The grey area above the brown is the ear drum.

After

This is after cleaning and removing the remaining wax and infected material.  The red is a blood clot forming. The translucent white is the ear drum.

Normal

​This is the other ear.  Notice the pale pink compared to the red, irritated look of the other side. The ear drum is translucent.
