Ear mites

[pomtzu]

I did some more in depth reading on the Revolution, and found out that to rid cats of ear mites, it is a one time dose, and in stubborn cases, perhaps 2 doses could be needed. It can be used monthly if desired to prevent reinfestation, but I don't see that as necessary for indoor only cats, as long as their ears are cleaned regularly.

Now this is a doable solution.....

I use revolution for fleas every month,and yes it kills ear mites too,been using it on my two for a few years now,so far so good,it may still work out cheaper in the long run than meds for ear mites,and all the work involved to treat them,best of luck.

Don't know if you can use this on cats but one friend of mine has a cat and I know she uses the wash for her dogs so she must use it for the cat also.
For the dogs I've always used the Blue Wash... it was made up by a vet so after being told about it I tried it and was amazed at the results. I don't like putting anything strong on any dog so this was the perfect thing. My dog caught ear mites only once. I used the wash for about a week and it was done. Now I use it once a month just to make sure the ears are always clean and to avoid any sort of ear trouble.
You can google Blue Ear Wash and the recipe comes up. Very simple.

It would pay to check as I know cats metabolise meds etc quite differently to dogs,so one needs to take care about using any dog products on cats.,maybe some are deemed safe,but I would always check with my vet first.
