once treatment is started are ear mites still contagious
If the cat's ear mites won't go away, you may need to see your vet for a new treatment. You may also need to check around your house since you may have mites living and reproducing in your home.
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.
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!
