If a cat has ear mites, first immobilize the cat so that it cannot move casually; turn up the ears and drop 3-4 drops of medicine (such as boric acid ear drops, or a medicine mixed with boric acid powder in proportion) into the ear , then pinch the ear and don’t let it shake its head; make sure the medicine flows deep into the ear...

Secure the cat so that it cannot move casually; turn up the ears, drop 3-4 drops of medicine (such as boric acid ear drops, or a medicine mixed with boric acid powder in proportion) into the ears, and then pinch the ears. Don't let it shake its head; make sure the medicine flows deep into the ear. The method is to pinch the depth of the ear canal with your hands, and you can hear the "plop, plop" sound of water; gently rub the depth of the ear canal 5-10 times with your hands, Let the medicine and the ear mite part fully dissolve, then you can let go; or after cleaning your hands, tear off a small piece of medical absorbent cotton about 3cm long, 2cm wide, slightly thinner, and then use an elbow hemostat to clamp the cotton 1/2 of the area, and tighten the teeth on the pliers, and keep rotating the cotton from top to bottom until it covers the tip of the pliers; then dip it in ear drops and gently dig out the cat's ear canal.

Generally, cats and dogs will shake their heads hard at this time and drop the medicine. At this time, there will be a lot of secretions attached to the external auditory canal, which are brown and very greasy. You can also see some stubborn secretions in the inner auditory canal that have not been shaken out. This is normal and will come out after a few more uses. Use a cotton ball to clean it (chlortetracycline eye ointment can be used). Pay attention to the direction from the internal auditory canal to the external auditory canal. Throw the cotton ball away immediately if it becomes dirty and cannot be reused.

After cleaning the dirt in the inner auditory canal and the external auditory canal, switch to the other ear and proceed as above; treat this method at least once a day, or twice for severe ear mites, for 2 weeks. Generally, obvious results will be seen after one week, with reduced secretions and reduced odor. Even if only one ear is found to have ear mites, it is necessary to treat both ears at the same time. This is highly contagious, and it is best to treat it at the same time.

1. When cleaning the ear canal, be sure to use hemostatic forceps and medical absorbent cotton to make cotton swabs. Ordinary cotton swabs can only clean the external auditory canal, but cotton swabs cannot remove the dirt in the cat's ears. Moreover, the stick of the cotton swab is too hard, which will damage the epithelial cells of the ear canal, which may cause bacterial infection in the future, and then turn into otitis; or it may poke the eardrum, causing injury to the inner ear. In addition, cotton swabs can also push earwax into the ear canal, blocking the ear canal and affecting treatment.

2. Many cats and dogs are very resistant to having their ears picked out. When they understand that you are treating their illness, or that you are not hurting them, their resistance will become smaller and smaller until they become accustomed to it. You clean its ears soothingly;

3. People with ear mitesCats and dogs sometimes scratch their ears violently, and then scratch the outside of the ears. Pay attention to the wounds;

4. Do not take a bath during treatment until you are fully recovered, and be careful not to allow water to enter your ears;

5. When taking a bath after recovering from illness, pay attention to cleaning the ears of cats and dogs. There is no need to put water in, just wet your hands and then wipe the outside of the ear canal;

6. Ear mites are parasites that can be transmitted between cats living together. During treatment, pay special attention to whether other pets in the home are also infected with ear mites. Isolation and treatment are recommended for families with conditions; ear mites are not contagious to humans, so pet owners don’t have to worry about being infected;

7. Regular inspections to prevent recurrence of ear mites.
