BlankDoes anyone know a good product for treating ear mites in kittens who
are 8 weeks old. The vet used Frontline flea control to treat the mother
cat but said the kittens were too young. Told me to get a commercial flea
powder and use it on the kittens. Would rather use a natural product if one
is available.

Thanks in advance for any help.

I had a kitten with ear mites once but he was older than 8 weeks, can you
see if you can check out this product, but ask the age range for it, I'm
pretty sure it goes below 8 weeks: Miticide for Cats and Kittens. Remember
to treat their tails as well because when they sleep they curl their tails
up under ears.

Thanks for answering. The Miticide is for 12 weeks and older. Went to the
pet store and they had it but since it was 12 weeks I didn't buy it.

First off, your vet needs to clean the kitten's ears thoroughly. Then try
Revolution for kittens. That's safe at 8 weeks, and it's also anti-flea, a
mild dewormer, and should take care of the mites as well.

will probably call the vet to come to the house and treat the 3 kittens I
have left. Will tell her to try the Revolution for kittens. Thanks.
