My cat has feline leukemia and she is 5 years old. She became overheated and we've been pushing fluids and she's eating drinking and urinating. We've also been giving her Viralysis. She had began to hold her right ear down and it is sensitive to touch. I'm trying to get a prescription for ClavMox to see if this will help. I believe she's got an ear infection or similar.

I'm so sorry that Kiki isn't doing well at the moment. Ear infections in cats can be caused by bacteria, yeast, or ear mites, so it's extremely important to get the cause of the ear infection diagnosed in order for the cat to be treated properly. Only a vet can do this, and then the vet can prescribe the correct treatment. In addition, it's illegal for us to write a prescription from this site without seeing your cat in person. I would give her vet a call now to get her an appointment today. Best of luck.
