The most common ear mite

In fact, it is a parasite whose scientific name is ear itch mite.

Up to 90% of cats and dogs get ear mites because of it!!

Although ear mites are not a big problem

But it also needs the correct way to treat

Many improper cleaning methods

May aggravate ear problems

For example, using cotton swabs

This is actually the handling habit of many parents.

But use cotton swabs to deal with dirt

Not only cannot the ear canal be cleaned

It can also cause a large amount of dirt to accumulate in the ear canal.

In severe cases, it may even cause ear canal inflammation!

So promise me to put down that cotton swab!

Let’s take a look at the correct way to deal with ear mites

Medical cotton, elbow hemostatic forceps

Ear cleaning solution, tissues

You can use Vic ear bleach to rinse your ears.

I believe everyone is familiar with this

It’s a standard feature in pet shops~

The texture is very mild

In addition to cleaning the ear canal,

It can also be used to clean the ear canal before medication.

Put 3-5 drops of ear cleaning solution into the ear canal.

Then cover their ears

Just rub the ears for about 30 seconds.

After using VIC to soften the dirt in the ear canal,

Wipe it clean with a paper towel,

Can be used deep in the ear canal

Use an elbow hemostat wrapped with medical cotton to clean.

Use Erfuling to drop into the ear canal of cats and dogs.

About 0.3ml (about 8 drops) for adult cats,

0.15ml (about 4 drops) for kittens,

Dogs can increase the amount appropriately.

Erfuling can be said to be the most effective treatment for ear mites

The most effective drug!

Ear mites are generally not very serious

All can be relieved within 2-3 days.

The drug is suitable for cats and dogs 8 weeks of age and older.

After applying the medicine, rub the ears for about 30 seconds.

In addition to Erfuling,

Eukang is also a relatively common ear mite ear drop

The onset of effect is not as fast as Erfuling

​However, it can be used to treat milder ear mites.

The usage method is the same as above,

It is also necessary to clean the ear canal with VIC before use.

Doesn’t it look very simple?

But in fact, for the more extreme little monsters,

It will still be a bit difficult~

You can prepare a small blanket to wrap them in advance,

To avoid accidentally injuring yourself!

Frequent cleaning may cause ear canal inflammation!
