Ear Mites - Treatment?

[pennyw74]

What do people use to treat ear mites?

My girl is showing signs of having them and while I have no hesitation in taking her to the vet, if it is just a matter of buying something and applying it myself, I'd be happy to do that.

Thanks

Hi pennyw74 the two dogs I own at present dont have any problem with ear mite, touchwood, but I am trying to keep their imune system in good order, so they don't get them.

Try olive leaf extract for the imune system.

The other day though,our daughter who has a Staffie that suffers badly with ear mite, and hot spot, was told by an indian lady, she met at a vets, who also has a Staffie that she uses a mixture of teatree oil, lemon juice, with a couple of drops of pineoclean added, daughter has tried it just wiped around the ear with it and she said it has helped, I dont know if she actually used it in the ear though.

I hope you find a solution its a pain when they keep getting earmites all the time.

Revolution does ear mites but do all the pets in the house or they will reinfect each other

Yes, revolution spot on does ear mites. Advocate too, I think. Please don't put anything down the ear canal without having a vet check that the eardrum is intact.

I have already given her Sentinel Spectrum today, so I didn't want to dose her up too much with these other things.
