how do i kill my dogs ear mites?

Question

lucy's got it pretty bad. Im a trained EMT and have a lot of medical knowledge from the military. I know its not an invasive procedure but when does it get too bad that its nothing i cant do with OTC medications?

Answer 1

Dogs don't commonly get ear mites so unless a vet has made a definate diagnosis that it is indeed earmites you should not be treating for them...there are several different ear infections taht dogs commonly get and all must be treated in a different manner..OTC products aren't a good idea to use..they can actually cause more trouble then they help with...take your dog to a vet get a proper diagnosis and receive the correct treatment.

Answer 2

There is a product called "Thornit" which is excellent for treating ear mites. Tap it in your search engine and you'll be able to read all about it.

I have used it on my dogs all my life. You just sprinkle a pinch inside the ear flap and rub the outer ear to make sure it has dispersed. After a couple of treatments the ears are as clean as a whistle.

Vets do supply this product but you can purchase it on line through www.hyperdrug.co.uk

Answer 3

You can clean the ears and perhaps check with the pet shops but the only sure cure I know is from the Vet. Don't wait too long, just imagine how you would feel if things were crawling around in your ears.

Answer 4

take him to the vet they will give you antibiotics and the wash stuff that you put in your dogs ears you will have to do this every day 2 ro 3 times a day for like 5 weeks.

Answer 5

being a trained EMT wouldn't common sense dictate that your animal needs meds from a veterinarian???
take him to the doc.

Answer 7
