..... they each have a significant build up of what appears to be dried blood in one ear. We have tried to remove it with Q-Tips, but it just seems to keep coming back. Any ideas why this may be?
We are taking them to a vet, but I'm curious to know if anybody here can suggest what may be causing this.

I agree...ear mites themselves are usually invisible to the naked eye, but their poop is not, it ususally is reddish-black. Unfortunately, the only sure-fire way to get rid of them is a trip to the vet, where you should get some drops to kill the mites, and a bigger bottle of some cleaning fluid. Make sure to rub your kitties' ears for about a minute after instilling the drops, and make sure they do not shake the drops out of their ears when you're done.

i even have an 18 year old cat that has been presented to kittens by the years and each and each time she acts a similar way, very territorial. It sounds like the kitten is crying for that is mommy, you're able to would desire to pass the older greater gentle cat into the different room and permit the kitten stay with you on a similar time as you sleep, the kitten is almost a human toddler in a technique, it is going to cry devoid of its mommy, feed the kitten by a bottle and he/she will associate you with its mom and could end the crying quickly. As including your older cat introducing them very sluggish is step one because of the fact the kitten gets older they'd finally substitute into acquaintances,, determine which you do save a seperate muddle field, cats are very territorial!

Sounds like ear mites, the vet should give you ear drops to clear this up.

I think what you are seeing are a bad case of ear mites. But your vet can confirm it.

It could be a number of things, earmite, ear infection, viral infection, they could have a head injury, it's best to have it looked at and correctly diagnosed by a vet.
