Instructions
Clean out the ear to relieve some discomfort. Hold your pet's head still and put some vegetable or olive oil in the ear canal using an eyedropper, and massage the ear to loosen mite dirt. Squeeze some of it out of the ear. Clean the ears with cotton balls.
Apply psoriunum or sulphur, which can be found at nutrition stores, to the irritated areas to relieve some of the itching and burning.
Mix nine drops of yellow dock root extract with a tablespoon of water and put it in an eyedropper. Put the substance in the dog or cat's ear every three days over six weeks, and make sure your pet does not shake the substance out shortly after you put in the mixture. This will kill the mites.
Fill an eyedropper with a half-ounce of almond oil with 400 IU's of Vitamin E to create a second mixture to attack the mites. Heat the mixture to body temperature and then apply half the mixture to each ear, massaging it in the ear and removing the excess with cotton balls. Do this every day for six days, then stop doing it for three days and then repeat.
Use commercial flea and tick products, which also kill ear mites.
Take your pet to a veterinarian, who can clean out the debris in your pet's ears and give you specific recommendations tailored to your pet's needs. The veterinarian also has access to more potent and effective pharmaceuticals that will target the ear mites.
How to Eliminate Ear Mites
Ear mites are tiny and live on the surface of a pet's ear, and they can quickly transfer to another pet either through direct contact or by hitching a ride on a human. Ear mites in your cat or dog are not just irritating and painful to the pet, they can also cause serious infections. If your pet scratches its ears frequently and they are red and inflamed, it may have mites, even if you can't see them. You can implement a few remedies to rid your pet of these pests.
