Unfortunately, ear mites are very common in furry purrs. This disease is transmitted from one animal to another, but home textiles, clothing or dust from the street can also serve as a source. If you want to save your cat from suffering and get rid of ear mites at home, follow these simple tips.
It is necessary
- - drops from an ear mite;
- - hydrogen peroxide;
- - cotton swabs.
Instructions
Step 1
Consult with a specialist - If you are unsure whether a tick is causing the animal's concern or something else, it is best to seek the advice of a veterinarian. A simple visit to the doctor will save you from the need to purchase many useless medications on the advice of friends or acquaintances and will protect your pet to a minimum. Indeed, in the case of improper treatment, you not only will not alleviate the suffering of the cat, but you can also harm her. If the cause of concern is really a tick, the doctor will prescribe a course of ear drops that you can easily inject on your own to your pet without harm to his health.
Step 2
Clean the cat's ear: Before using the drops, the cat's auricle must be cleaned of ticks and their excrement. Typically visible to the naked eye, they are dark gray or brown discharge on the inside of a cat's ear. Take a cotton swab and dip it in hydrogen peroxide. You should not be afraid, for the animal it is completely safe and painless, only the procedure itself causes unpleasant sensations. Take the cat in your hands and gently remove all plaque and dirt in the ears with a cotton swab. If necessary, use another stick. Your task is to keep the auricle clean. Use a separate stick for each ear.
Step 3
After the ears are cleaned, proceed with the instillation of the medicine. The main secret here is the temperature of the drops. If you pour something cold into your ear, it is unlikely that she will be very happy with such manipulation, while the liquid at room temperature may not even notice. Take the cat in your arms, open the auricle, and apply the medication as directed by your doctor. It is not worth letting the cat go right away, because it will start shaking its head and very quickly get rid of the drops. Using gentle massaging movements, rub the outer side of your furry's ears so that the medicine can be evenly distributed.
