Generally speaking, cat ear mites are mainly concentrated in the ear canal of cats, but in a few cases, they can appear on the head, neck and tail of cats. If your cat's ear mites are difficult to cure, it is very likely that there are more than one mite on the cat's body. At this time, we must consider systemic treatment for the cat. In addition, cat ear mites and fungal infections are similar and need to be distinguished during treatment.

Ear mites and Malassezia are common infections in cats’ ear canals. What they have in common is that there is brown sludge in the ear cavities, which smells bad, and cats scratch their ears constantly and shake their heads frequently. The difference between the two is subtle. The secretion of cat ear mites is a dark brown and oily substance, while the secretion of Malassezia is a dry, dark brown or black substance. Usually veterinarians will recommend testing ear canal secretions. Under a microscope, it can be clearly seen whether the cat is infected with ear mites or Malassezia fungus. Of course, some cats have mixed infections, including ear mite infection and fungal infection.

Treatment methods will vary depending on the source of infection. For simple ear mites in cats, we generally use ear cleaning liquid Aurfulin to treat them. First, fill the cat's ears with ear cleaning solution and gently rub the base of the ears. After a while, the cat will shake its head to shake out the dirt inside. Then use a paper towel to dry the cat's ears, and finally use the matching hose. Just push the ear skin deep into the ear canal and it will be fine. It should be noted here that when dealing with cat ear mites, you must insist on continuous medication until the cat ear is cured. If you fish for three days and dry the net for two days, the cat ear will develop drug resistance, and it will be difficult to cure it in the future; for Malasez For bacterial infection, just use compound itraconazole ointment on the cat. If it is a mixed infection, you can take itraconazole capsules orally, plus a set of procedures for dealing with cat ear mites.
