No, that's what you use to clean their ears when they do have ear mites.
No. It is a myth that they burrow into animals ears. They are protien to dogs, if eaten.
You need to try mite medicine first,if this does not clear up the problem call your vet.
No just clean with ear mite medicine and cotton balls
Ear mites can be confused with the mites that cause Sarcoptic Mange. This is an entirely different disease, but one whose signs can include crusty ear tips. The treatment for Sarcoptic Mange is different. Also, many dog owners mistake ear mites for ear infections, again, treatment for an ear infection is different than treatment for ear mites. If you happen to be wrong, and your dog has another condition and not ear mites, it means suffering through up to two weeks of inappropriate treatment. Your vet is best able to diagnose your dog quickly, and rule out these different conditions, and give your dog the correct medication. If you can't afford a visit to your veterinarian, using an over the counter ear mite treatment such as Hartz Ultra is much better than not treating your dog at all! Your dog is REALLY uncomfortable while suffering with ear mites! However, if your dog doesn't respond the the Hartz Ultra ear mite treatment, it's then time to have a vet examine your dog. Also, the over the counter ear mite products usually have a longer course of treatment (21-30 days) than the prescription medication your vet can provide. Best of luck!
i do not believe so
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.
ears its fine as long as you clean it before and after your swim :) Good Luck
There are a number of types of mites that can take up residence on your dog. What works on one type may not work on another. As to Dawn w/ bleach alternative, unless you know your chemistry plus mite and dog pH levels, DON'T do this as the amount of one to the other varies. A long-time trainer/breeder may be able to give you input for your breed. The best solution is have your Vet diagnose it and press for less expensive alternative treatments. If you create a "Do it Yourself" treatment and it's off just a bit, you're going to be looking at some really expensive Vet bills and treatment. You will need to apply a topical anti-parasitic medication to your dog's ears after you cleaned both the external ear and ear canals with an appropriate ear-cleaning solution before applying any ear mite medication. You can buy an ear mite treatment at larger pet stores. Look for a treatment that contains: pyrethrin, rotenone or fibronil. However, over-the-counter medications that are specifically formulated to treat ear mites usually contain fairly low doses of the active ingredients. Your best best for quick treatment is to get medication from your vet, who can also show you how to clean your dog's ears, if you don't already know how. Ear mite eggs are often immune to treatment and can hatch after a dog has been treated. They usually hatch within a few weeks of being laid, making it especially important to continue retreat your dog as it says on the package directions, or prescribed by your veterinarian.
NEVER pierce a dog's ear.
yes, if the dye is peroxide-based or toxic, it can make your dog very sick. If it's just food coloring or kool-aid, then it should not harm your pooch.
Only if it was prescribed by the dog's veterinarian. Many human drugs are harmful to dogs and cats.
A severe ear infection, caused by a shock, a foreign object, a bite, a bacterium, a fungus or triggered by an ear mite. You need a vet, urgently!
