Sarah/ear mites

[Guest guest]

Hi Sarah

 

I also love

animals. When my dog gets an ear

infection, I put on a Q-tip an antibiotic that I would put on a cut and rub it

around in his ear, and then let him lay their quietly and I just rub his ear,

within 1-2 days his infection is gone.

I have two pharmacists that live near me and they love pets also, they

say they when their dogs use to get ear mites, they would cleanse the ears in a mild soap water. Make sure you don’t go into the ear

with the water and then they put Vaseline in the ears, 2 times a day. The mites suffocate from the

Vaseline. They told me their dogs

don’t have mites anymore. So

they put the Vaseline in 1 time a day now.

 

I have a Lab name

Thunder and three beta fish (Japanese Fighting fish) the males are so

beautiful. My son asked me to take

care of “Bob” while he went back to Grad. School. Then I bought one name Clyde

(husband named that one) and then I bought one and I named him “Ippo”.

 

I love cats, but

my husband hates them, so I have 107 statues in my computer room. I use to have a cat when I was single,

loved him.

 

Well, I hope my

suggestions help. I also know when

Thunder first got an ear infection the Vet gave me a bottle of ear wash

solution, just for dogs. Squeeze

some in and then rub the ears for a bit, then try to lay the dog on that ear so

it will drain out.

I may try this before using any EOs in my kitty's ear...the warm base

oil remedy I wrote about in another post was supposed to do what the

Vaseline is said to do: suffocate the little buggers. I admit, it was

an excellent and relatively painless way to get the black muck out of

my cat Possum's ears, but it just comes back and she scratches her

ears so much the skin on her head bleeds.

 

I am worried now that the other cats are getting them, as her

playbuddy Spike seems to be scratching some -- not a lot, but I have

noticed him doing it now, when I didn't before. Don't see any muck

just yet, but I'd rather fix Possum's problems before the rest of my

brood gets that far.
