Many people think that ear mites are only a problem for stray animals. Unfortunately, even pets are not immune from this disease. Therefore, it is extremely important to regularly check the ears of cats. In the event that black dots, a large amount of sulfur, similar to flakes, were found in the ears of the animal, then it is necessary to urgently start treatment.
Instructions
Step 1
If ear mites are found, it is best to take the animal to a veterinary clinic or call a doctor at home. At the same time, the doctor will show you how to properly treat the ears of the kitten. But if this is not possible, then you can help the pet yourself.
Step 2
There are quite a few means of dealing with ear mites, for example, "Amit", "Amitrazine", "Dekta" (the last drug is the most poisonous, so it is not recommended to use it when treating kittens). First, you need to carefully swaddle the animal in a towel or treatment bag, leaving only the head outside. Then, pulling the tab upward, move the tip of the vial to the opening and squeeze out one drop of medication. After that, bend the cat's ear and massage it lightly to prevent the medicine from spilling out and getting into the eyes. Alternatively, you can use liquid petroleum jelly to prevent the animal from licking the poisonous medicine. If this does happen, give your pet as much milk as possible.
Step 3
Also, the animal can be cured of ear mites with oil. To do this, put three to five drops into the ear opening. The oil will kill mites and have a soothing effect on the ears. Veterinarians who practice non-standard treatment recommend using almond or olive oil (never use tea tree oil - it is extremely dangerous for the animal). To enhance the healing effect, it is necessary to soak a few crushed garlic cloves in oil overnight. It is advisable to carry out such a procedure once a day for a month.
Step 4
Be aware that dirt in your animal's ears can protect ticks from medication. Therefore, before dripping oil, it is advisable to clean the cat's ears.
Step 5
To ensure that the ticks never return, it is necessary to give the animal echinacea. This plant, which strengthens the immune system, will help the cat fight off parasites. Echinacea should be added to the cat's diet within two weeks after treatment.
