If your cat has the following symptoms, you must be wary of cat ear mites! In fact, when it comes to cleaning cats’ ears, I believe that poop collectors must have done a lot of homework, including cleaning techniques, cleaning drugs, etc. But what I want to tell you here today is a small misunderstanding that we don’t pay much attention to. Let’s learn about it together~

Cat ear mites are a common parasite of the ear canal of cats. I believe many All pet owners have encountered this situation. No, some time ago, my dumpling suddenly started scratching his ears frequently. At first, I thought it was just an itchy ear, so I didn't take it to heart. But later, Tuanzi scratched more and more, and the skin on his ears was broken. Then I realized that Tuanzi had cat ear mites, and it was not just a simple itchy ear.

If your cat also has the following symptoms, you must be wary of cat ear mites!

1) The cat scratches its ears vigorously and frequently, and there is hair loss or even broken skin around the ears.

2) Cats often shake their heads, as if they are trying to throw something out.

3) Cat ears have a peculiar smell, and there will be a smell when you are close to it, which is very unpleasant.

4) There is a dark brown oily waxy substance in the cat’s ears, a bit like coffee grounds.

If it is confirmed that it is cat ear mites, the next thing to do is to take treatment measures. Regarding the treatment of cat ear mites, one thing pet owners need to understand is that the treatment of cat ear mites is not a simple matter of taking a few doses of medicine. On the contrary, treating cat ear mites is a long process.

Because the life cycle of cat ear mites is relatively short, about 18-28 days, ear mite eggs can turn into larvae in 4 days. The larvae pass through the stages of primary nymph and secondary nymph and become adults. The ear mites can be fertilized and lay eggs immediately after becoming adults. Moreover, cat ear mites have extremely strong reproductive capabilities. A single ear mite lays approximately 100 eggs in its lifetime. The eggs hatch into larvae within 72 hours, enter the pupa stage a few days later, and hatch into adults 3-4 days later, and mate quickly. When a pet owner discovers that his cat has ear mites, there are already about 1,000 ear mites in the ear canal. Therefore, for the treatment of cat ear mites, we need to use the medication continuously for at least 1 month, so that all cat ear mites can be eliminated.

But why do some people insist on giving medicine to cats, but don’t treat cat ear mites thoroughly? It is very possible that your cat is not just infected with cat ear mites, but it may also be accompanied by bacterial and fungal infections. Only by taking care of both can your cat's ears be completely healed.

We can use Vic ear bleach to clean the cat’s ears every day, and then use Aurifulin to treat ear mites, bacteria, and fungi. The specific usage is as shown in the picture below: ( If you don’t know how to operate it yourself, it is recommended to ask a veterinarian for help. Cat ear canals are relatively delicate and can be easily damaged if not handled properly)

In addition, cat ear mites are parasites. If you want to completely cure them, you must also Rely on systemic deworming. When my Tuanzi was suffering from cat ear mites, the pet doctorThe recommended product to me is Bioline Internal and External Repellent. It is a four-effect compound formula. It is the cat anthelmintic with the most comprehensive spectrum of anthelmintics currently on the market. It is effective against ear itch mites and ear scabies that cause cat ear mites. It has a good control effect on mites. Since using it, coupled with one month of consistent cleaning and medication, Tuanzi's ears have now been completely cured. Of course, in addition to cat ear mites, Bioline can effectively kill common parasites such as fleas, ticks, roundworms, tapeworms, and hookworms. For domestic cats, daily deworming is enough.

Finally, I would like to say that cat ear mites are not a difficult disease. Many people will encounter them when raising cats. If your cat unfortunately gets cat ear mites, don’t worry too much. Just follow the above tips. According to the following methods, give the cat medicine on time, regularly deworm the cat, and do a good job in sanitation and cleaning of the home environment.
