Hey folks,
My kittens and adult cat have been scratching at their ears and shaking theirs heads lately.
There are no signs of mites, but there was a good bit of wax in their ears the last few times that I looked.
I wanted to know what ear cleaning solutions everyone uses or has used? When I last mentiioned the ear issues to my vet (a couple months ago) she looked, there was no infection or mites, and said to use an ear cleaning solution... I had been told by the vet that sees our dog, that you could mix vinegar and water to use as a cleaner, but the vet that sees my cats said that vinegar isn't a very good "drying solution" and she'd reccomend a product made for cleaning ears.
So, what do you use or what have you used and how often do you clean out your cats ears?
I bought some Auror-UM at petsmart today (the only ear cleaner they had for cats) and tried it out... The cats weren't pleased and it left an "oily" odor...although I'm not sure if that was from dissolved ear wax or the liquid itself... So, I'm very open to trying out another brand of solution that works.
