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.
Take it to the vet. LOL =)
baby oil is safe for dog ear mites or feline mites but you must wipe the ears out in between applications.
No. Ear mites only choose cats/dogs as their hosts. Off of the host, they will die after 12 hours.
sounds like ear mites
Generally no, but looking into your dog's ears every so often will help you see if your dog has gotten 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!
