For many cats with chronic ear issues, the underlying cause is allergies. Cats with allergies tend to manifest their symptoms in their skin (including their ears) rather than with runny eyes and nose like people. Cats can be allergic to multiple things including food ingredients, fleas, and indoor irritants like dust, grasses, trees and pollens. Allergies in cats can also contribute to allergic lung disease or asthma. The most common sign of asthma is coughing…the cough sounds just like a hair ball but the cat’s head is stretched out and nothing comes up (sound familiar?). For his coughing, the first step is to take a chest x-ray to determine if he may have asthma or any other conditions that can cause coughing. You may also want to talk to your veterinarian about other options for his ears like an antihistamine or an anti-inflammatory. Hope this helps.
