What are ear mites in Huskies?

Ear mites, also called ear scabies, are a very common ear canal parasite in dogs. In most cases, ear mites live in the dog's ear canal. In rare cases, ear mites can also appear on the dog's head, neck and tail.

Causes of ear mites in Huskies

Ear mites are highly contagious parasites that are transmitted through close contact. If one cat or dog in the household becomes infected with ear mites, all cats and dogs will need to start treatment at the same time. In rare cases, people may experience redness on their skin. It can be said that the possibility of people being infected with ear mites through pets is very low.

Symptoms of ear mites in Huskies

The skin near the Husky’s ears will feel severe itching, and there may be a local allergic reaction. In severe cases, it may be itchy all over the body. The dog will constantly scratch its ears with its hind legs or shake its head, and you can see reddish-brown or black dirt secreted from the dog's ear canal. Dogs with ear pain may refuse ear canal examination, have hair loss on the outside of their auricles, and may have hematomas in their ears. Severe cases can cause otitis media or otitis interna, which may have consequences such as hearing loss and loss of balance.

Treatment methods for ear mites in Huskies

1. First use pet-specific ear cleaning solution to clean the ear canal and remove secretions. Then use Acarexx or Milbemite ear mite killer in the ear canal to effectively remove ear mites.
2. Apply topical medicine such as DaCaoAi on the back of the neck to effectively remove ear mites.
3. Another method is to inject drugs, but it is not recommended.
