Yes humans can get ear mites, just as animals can, though it isn't common. Treatment includes the use of a special medication which was formulated for use on ear mites.
No, that's what you use to clean their ears when they do have ear mites.
no you can not take your cat to the vet!
All margarine will do is give your dog greasy ears. There are over the counter ear mite treatments for sale at larger pet stores, but frankly it's not as effective as the medication you can get from your vet. Your best course of action for quick treatment is to have your vet examine your dog.
No. Go to the vetrinarian and chance is your guinea pig will be left there for about two weeks. If you think they are ear mites they could also be ear worms, which look thye same. (flaky scaby ears)
No, you should only use a product labeled for use in a horses ears.
Yes; any light vegetable will work.
My vet prescribed this as a 0.025% lotion for my cat's chronic ear problems. Best to make sure it's not ear mites first, though.
guinea pigs ears should not be crusty....it might be ear wax? Or it could be ear mites - when my guinea pigs had crust inside their ears and i took them to the vet for other reasons- the vet said it was ear mites- Use a cotton swab moist with warm water to clean them out
A damp ear is a perfect breeding ground for fungus or bacteria, especially for dogs with ear flaps (ears that hang down). When bathing your dog, be sure to not let water into the ears--use cotton to block the ear canal. If your dog's a swimmer, use a towel and then some cotton balls to dry the ears.
Your vetrinarian can provide you with a lotion that can be swabbed into the ears that will kill the mite infestation. Daily treatments will clear up the problme in about a week or two. Or if you prefer a natural way of ridding your dog of ear mites, you can use olive oil in the ears to suffocate the mites. This will take persistance and at least a week of treatment.
Do not use dish soap in your cats ears. It may do more harm than good and it will not get rid of ear mites. It also cause a secondary infection such as a yeast infection or other bacterial infection by throwing off the ear's natural balance. If you notice your pet has ear problems - odor, shaking of the head, scratching or rubbing at the ears - take it to your veterinarian. There are special treatments for every ear problem, and it takes an ear cytology to find out what the root of the problem is so it can be fixed.
