Ear mites are parasites that live in the ear canals of pets. They are very tenacious and will take about three weeks to get better with proper care. Generally speaking, dogs no longer scratch their ears. If there is no brown dirt in the dog's ears and there is no bad smell in the ears, it is almost done. Ear mites mostly live on the surface of the skin without burrowing behavior and stimulate the cerumen glands in the ears, causing the ear canals to be filled with cerumen and mite excrement. Mites are common among animals living in groups, and deworming them on time can effectively prevent mite infection. If your dog continues to scratch its ears after being infected with ear mites, it needs to wear a collar to prevent ear hematoma caused by continued scratching.

Treatment methods for dog ear mites

1. Clean the ear canal. First use Zanthoxylum bungeanum ear cleaning liquid to clean the ear canal, drop an appropriate amount of ear cleaning liquid into the dog's ears, rub the ears from the outside for about half a minute, then gently block the dog's ears with cotton balls, and let the dog Shake out the dirty stuff yourself and wipe it clean. Generally, once a day, improvement will occur if you persist for a week. Note that if the ear hair is too long, it needs to be plucked in advance.

2. Apply medicine (this step can be omitted for mild ear mites). Give your dog a regular dose of ear medicine specifically designed to remove ear mites. After the medicine enters the ear, gently massage it to allow the medicine to be better absorbed and prevent the dog from throwing the medicine out immediately.

3. External deworming. If you are infected with ear mites, you need to use an external anthelmintic drug that can repel ear mites and other mites. Put the external repellent drops on the back of the neck where the dog cannot lick, and be sure to wear an Elizabethan ring.
