To help CPR practitioners to remember the order of the procedural steps, the acronym ABC was taught to stand for Airway, Breathing, Circulation. In 2010, the order of the steps was changed to Circulation, Airway, Breathing, so the acronym is now CAB.
The Itching is usually due to a disturbance in the skin of the external auditory canal. Ear canal skin is very sensitive. The slightest accumulation of debris, even a dead hair, may be felt as an itching sensation. Often, dryness in the ear is what causes inner ear itching.
Cats dig at their ears when their ears itch. Head shaking is another sign of itchy ears. Any time a cat really digs into her ears, I become concerned about the risk of an ear infection, ear mites, or a foreign object (such as a foxtail) in the ear. If your vet has checked the ears recently and given them a clean bill of health, then these issues shouldnât be playing a role in the scratching and shaking.
