An ear mite is a tiny organism that settles in the ears of an animal and leads to inflammation and the penetration of infections. Most often, the parasite affects the ears of cats. If this happens, you need to immediately start ridding the pet of the infection. For this today there are many remedies that must be used for at least 21 days - this is the tick breeding cycle.
Instructions
Step 1
A good remedy with which you can cure an animal from an ear mite is the time-tested drug "Tresaderm". It contains an antibiotic, so the medicine also treats secondary bacterial infections. A cortisone derivative, which is also contained in the drug, helps to cope with inflammation, and thiabendazole directly destroys ticks, and along the way - various kinds of fungi. "Tresaderm" can be used not for 21 days, but for 10-14 days, since it kills not only adults, but also their eggs.
Step 2
In recent years, veterinarians have recommended treating the ears of cats that have caught a tick with Ivomek. It contains ivermectin, a substance with a large antiparasitic spectrum of action. This medication is available in the form of drops and liquid for injection. It is necessary to prick it within a month, once or several times a week. But there are restrictions on the use, you can read about them in detail in the instructions.
Step 3
The drug Frontline, which is well-known among animal lovers, can also be used to remove ear mites. It contains the active substance fipronil, which kills not only fleas, but also other insects, including ticks. Many cat owners will drip Front Line into the ears of sick pets. But the instructions for use do not say anything about this method.
Step 4
The most modern cure for ear mites is Revolution for Cats. It just needs to be dripped onto the withers, and then wait until the active substance of the drug is absorbed into the blood of the animal. Manufacturers claim that the drug kills fleas and ticks, and also serves as a good preventive measure against them. But the remedy will not work if the cat's ears are dirty. Therefore, before and during its use, you should thoroughly clean the animal's ear canals.
