Ear Mite Treatment

Our large belgian shepherd has had seasonal problems with mites for years. He's 14 now, and we've been using this mite killer for about 6-7 years. It's the only thing we've found that can control and end an infestation. These are nasty buggers with a fondness for hidden places. This stuff works great. Highly recommend.

This got rid of the dirty ear my cat has been sporting for a little while. I mean, one use and it was done. It’s kind of amazing. I mean, it worked like overnight. I don’t leave reviews but it’s pretty good!

The media could not be loaded. This is a video of my 7 yr old cat, whose ears started twitching after a second dose of this ear mite medication. The first time I gave him the medicine, there were no ill effects and he was perfectly fine. But I gave him a second dose last night (3 days after the first dose), and his ears kept twitching afterwards. I thought it wasn’t a big deal, until I noticed he slept next to me curled up extra close, all night. Like he needed extra comfort from me. In the morning, it seemed like his ear twitching had gotten worse. I was on the verge of panicking, but I gave him some breakfast. And then after that, the ear twitching seemed to subside… and it seems like his ears don’t bother him very much at all. This video is from earlier this morning, when his ear twitching was at its worst.Thank goodness, it seems like it’s not an issue anymore. But I’ll update this review if anything terrible happens. (EDIT: It has been over a week, and my cat is perfectly fine now. If your cat had a reaction similar to the one I described, I hope this helps you not to panic. The medicine works great.)I still want to give this ear mite medication 4 stars because my 12 week old kitten tolerated multiple doses of this stuff just fine. And my 7 year old cat seemed perfectly fine after his first dose. But I wanted to let people know to be careful with this stuff, because some of the negative reviews are valid. And not every cat will react in the same way. I got extremely lucky this time, since I didn’t have to bring my cat in to the vet, and the ear mites seem to be gone now. But the side effects are something to take into serious consideration! Ear mites are a condition that require treatment, and I still recommend this stuff despite my caveat.

After purchasing 3 other brands this one finally worked! Its the highest % of Pyrethrins that I could find on here! Unbeknownst to me my Himalayan had a severe ear mite infestation! She gets Frontline plus monthly and still got them! Here's the bad news you MUST be vigilant and use this at least every other day - she didn't like it ...I didn't like doing it but now she's mite free! Heres what worked for me - I would fill each ear canal full- let it set for a minute messaging at the base to loosen up debris - then using tissue clean ALL the fluid and gunk out. Then put two drops in and leave it in without removing with tissue. Basically I used this as an ear cleaner and treatment. Cleaned ears out first- then a few drops left in. I did this every other day for WEEKS! Also - the mites tried to move! I caught them trying to move behind the outside of her ear and on her chin! I just put the treatment on them where ever I saw them! Btw mites hate tea tree oil- however tea tree is toxic to cats! In the very beginning I did bath her with tea tree shampoo focusing on her ears and head - and making sure to rinse THOROUGHLY! That seemed to help give me a jump start killing these pesky buggers!! I did get bit by them as well! The hate tea tree but they really hate camphor! So I would put campho phenique on the spots they bit me and they'd be gone in a day! Note! If this liquid seems to hurt your cat you could have a secondary infection going on and antibiotics may be needed first. It really should not hurt your cat. Yes they won't "like" it - but if you have crying etc etc antibiotics may be needed. Talk to a vet- be vigilant!! You can beat them!!Each time you Clean/treat them you will see less and less but don't stop until you see none! Now I treat her twice a month as prevention. Also if you have other cats check them as well! When I started killing hers they did try to jump to another cat! Luckily I expected that and treated him right away when it happened!I really really hate ear mites!! Good luck!
