Welcome to the group, Corrine. I am very sorry about your kitty's diagnosis but we are here to support you and her. I don't have any experience with ear yeast infections in cats but others on the list may. If you are also on Facebook there is an "Owners of FeLV+/FIV+ Cats" private group that is pretty active too.
