How does ear mite prevent and cure?

Some people think that pet ears are ear mites. In fact, the pet ears are not necessarily ear mites, should be combined with the dirt traits inside the pet ears to distinguish.

 Let's take a look at what is the difference between ear mites and earwax, and how to control ear mites.

What is ear mite?

Oar mite is a kind of ear scabies, is a common ear canal parasites in cats and dogs, mostly parasitic in the ear canal, a few cases will also appear in the head, front and tail. 

Oar mites are small, white insects, our naked eye is not to see, need to be observed through the ear mirror.

However, we can judge whether the ear mite is infected from the cat's following symptoms:

1.Cat ears have black and brown fat wax, similar to coffee grounds.

2. the ear is itchy, the cat from time to time with the hind paw to scratch the ear, and even scratch the wound

3.Cats often throw their heads, trying to throw the dirt out of their ears

4.near the cat ear canal, there will be a stench!

What is the difference between the ear mite and the earwax?

Earwax is a bit like the texture of soil, with fingers, you will find that earwax is more delicate And ear mites are irregular slices in the ear canal, when we rub with our fingers, we will find that its touch is relatively rough. 

And there will be reddish-brown or black-brown secretions in the ear canal, which is the difference between earwax and ear mites.

How to prevent and treat ear mites?

Care after diagnosis:

1. If your pet is diagnosed with ear mites, immediately isolate other cats and dogs to prevent cross-infection.

2. Clean all the items used by pets and air them in the sun. Can not be cleaned, can be used with ultraviolet lamp sterilization.

3. Prepare to clean the ear washing water, medication, cotton swab

1) Put the right amount of ear wash into the pet's ear canal and massage it for half a minute so that the foreign matter attached to the ear canal can fall off, let go after the massage and the pet will immediately fling the ear, wipe the liquid and black foreign matter flung out with a tissue and proceed to the next step: 

(PETZZLE ear wash is recommended, which integrates cleaning, disinfection and antibacterial)

2) Wipe the cotton swab deep into the outer ear, wipe the excess liquid clean and prepare to apply the medicine:

3) Put an extension tube on the medicine, because the ear canal of your pet is L-shaped, so be sure to lift up the ear and drop the medicine into the inner ear, about the size of a soybean grain on it, gently massage the root of the ear after the drop, the application of medicine is complete.

Note: Some pooper scoopers feel that the discharge in their pets' ears has decreased, 

so they immediately stop using the medication, 

which can easily lead to repeated ear mites.

Prevention is greater than treatment:

Ear mites are parasitic infections and as long as there are parasites present pets are at risk of infection, so owner's must deworm their cats as well as clean them on time.

Deworming can be done with in vitro broad-spectrum dewormers that kill roundworms, hookworms and tapeworms in the body, and ear itch mites, ear scabies mites, hydra worms, fleas and lice in the body. Simply pluck the hair on the back of your pet's shoulder and neck and put the drops on the skin.

Next, do a good job of daily cleaning and use ear wash to clean the ear wax once a week to maintain good ear hygiene and prevent creating an environment suitable for ear mites to grow.
