no you can not take your cat to the vet!
I have a lab puppy and at my house we use a wipe or a Qytip. What I use to clean my dogs and cats ears is a Q-tip and baby oil or skin so soft. Kills ear mites as well.
Veterinarians have determined that castor oil is not good for cats. However, olive oil is a great alternative for treating dry skin on cats.
I'm no vet but I don't think baby oil is harmful to cats. If its safe on babies it's probably safe on cats.
Yes, it contains phenols which are highly toxic to cats.
I do not know why people think that cats should be fed (like) fish - apart from the fishing cat (that lives in the Amazon), cats would not naturally eat fish. However, this said a little fish in a domestic cats diet will not hurt the cat and a little salmon oil will be OK too. The key word is A LITTLE!.
baby oil is safe for dog ear mites or feline mites but you must wipe the ears out in between applications.
First make sure that the sore is not ear mites. Any application of neosporin on a cotton swap will heal an injury. IF IT IS NOT EAR MITES! A few drops of mineral oil will aid in removing ear mites. Your vet will also have a solution available for this application.
I do not know if sweet oil has any healing properties or not. As a child I had frequent earaches. My Mom put warm sweet oil in my ear and had me to hold a warm towel over my ear awhile. This always helped the pain.
Yes; any light vegetable will work.
sweet oil (olive oil Emollient) used for ear drop,s?
One of two reasons, either the rabbit has injured its ear and has an infection or your rabbit has ear mites which also cause an infection. If it is ear mites you can get rid of them by mixing iodine (a few drops) in baby oil and coating the ear with it. When you get rid of the ear mites (by smothering them with the oil every 2 days) you will need to treat with oil again in 10 days to smother the babies that hatch out of the eggs laid under the skin of the ear (which is what causes the infection). If the infection is really bad your rabbit may need antibiotics which it may need if it has an infection for a wound to it's ear.
Sweet oil is often used in salad dressings or drizzled over bread. It is also used in the ear to treat ear infections.
Ear mites in cats cause extreme discomfort, and can lead to much more serious conditions if left untreated. Mites should be treated with a product made specifically for that purpose. Most miticides are formulated in one of two ways: a bit more dilute solution which is instilled in the ears every day for about 10 days, or a stronger solution that is used every 2 days for about a week (about 3 treatments). Treatment is geared to the reproductive cycle of the mites, so as to catch those that hatch between treatments. Your vet can recommend one. Using vegetable oils might drown a few mites, but won't get rid of them, and could put the cat's health at risk. The oil belongs in a salad dressing, not in the delicate workings of a cat's ear :o)
I don't know about it helping ear infections, but I had a bad case of swimmers ear (water trapped in the ear, and it HURTS!), and the sweet oil released the water in under 20 minutes

Sweet oil will not cause any pain in the ears. As a child, I had earaches often. My Mom put warm sweet oil in my ears all the time for earaches.
Sweet oil is actually just almond oil or olive oil. You don't need to make it. However, some people soak garlic in it and use it to fight infections.
