Cat Forum / General Topics / December 2003Still at these ear mites
I just can't get rid of the ear mites the new cat has... I must say the internet provides good insight though. Now even the dog which we have since six years without problems has them :-( Somebody told me of a possible injection. I paid $160 for this cat in the shelter plus $80 for the second lot of injections, should I go back to the vet and complain once more (for the third time)? Argh... -- Carola ^..^ ~~ , =?`= ___ ) (_ >I just can't get rid of the ear mites the new cat has... I must say the >internet provides good insight though.

We adopt spayed animals with vaccinations for $70. Anyway, ask your vet about the ear mite vax. It worked very well with my old cat. Also, doesn't Revolution control ear mites also? Sometimes they are persistent little buggers to get rid of. Boots had them most recently, and the vet cleaned her ears out very well, sent us home with the drops, and we got rid of them...but I've had cats before that weren't so easy to cure. Your shelter kitty probably had a bad case of them. It seems like lots of shelter cats do. Good luck! Sherry Yes the revolution is supposed to take care of the ear mites. You need to give it for a few months though. We started Boots on Revolution and a month later the vet said he still had them. After another 2 doses he's mite free. I liked the drops better. We used them on Tiggy years ago. They may have been messy but they cleared up the mites a lot faster. W >I just can't get rid of the ear mites the new cat has...

I asked another vet. She said they used to inject kittens suffering from ear mites. I guess I'll go back to the vet who runs the shelter from which I got the cat. He's bound to be interested too that the whole thing will clear up. It's a nuisance though. :-( Carola It's applied to the back of the neck.

A few drops into each ear once a day for about a month might be enough to kill the ear mites. If you have a multi-cats household you will need to apply the treatment to all of your cats simultaneously, even if the other cats might not have symptoms of ear mites. Hope this helps.

One dosage does it. Good luck, -L. |
