Good to hear, Masud. I think most people on here would say use Revolution for ear mites. Or Advantage Multi. Again - these medicines come in those tiny vials with the snap-off tops. I don't know if you can get them there. The other treatment is the generic ivermectin, but you really, really have to know how to use it. It can also cause serious problems.

This talks about the variety of treatments for ear mites.
I will check with my vet shop for this product. I also read that mineral oil can be used to treat ear mites but i guess it will take 30 days regular cleaning?

Mmmm.... most vets would tell you that is not the best way to do it. It is messy and time consuming. I had a house full of cats and tried it... mineral oil everywhere. They shake the heads and run around like they are crazy! They don't like it!!

One round of Revolution/Advantage Multi and the mites were GONE!!!!

Just try to avoid the pet shop remedies; ones where a presciption is needed work so much better, are tested for safety, etc.

Edited to add : also - if her ears are bothering her it may be more than mites. It could be an infection. Cats can get bacterial and yeast infections in their ears. That requires different medicine. Did the vet check her ears and tell you it is mites? They take stuff out of the ears and look at it under a microscope. That will tell you what it is.

When my friend first took the cat for its first vacination the vet gave a look and just told my friend to clean the wounds with DETTOL thats it. After I bought the cat i took my time and inspected her throughly. I used a torch light and looked into her ears and saw brown/black/maroon power like thing in the ear which are ear mites. Dont know if its bacterial infection.

In my next visit to the vet i will force them to check for bacerial infection in ear.

In this country you do things by force or by something commonly refered as Acceleration Fee lol .

regards
Masud.

Word of warning here.

DO NOT use another flea treatment after using Frontline (or any other product) as this could cause a serious chemical reaction.

Best to wait until six weeks is up then use the new product.

Ah, good point, Python. Didn't think of that. I just know that mineral oil is not the best way to go. And what Masud is describing could also be the result of infection... and there could be mites in her ears, too. More than one problem. Poor little baby. But at least Masud and his wife are determined to take good care of her! Yay, Masud!!!!

I don't think Acarexx (ivermectin) is a flea treatment. I think it is actually a dewormer and is also used to treat mange - which of course is caused by... MITES. However, the other topicals mentioned here also kill fleas.

If your kitten is due the 2nd part of the vaccination, you must take her to get it done tomorrow

Hmmm. I don't know what that is. Lots of hair loss on her tail may have been from fleas. I just hope it is not ringworm. As I said, ringworm is a fungus that is contagious to humans. It can be easily treated with special fungal creams and pills.

Looks like the hair is growing back now, yes? I wouldn't tear or pull off anything. To me, the only time to pull or tear off something - GENTLY - is to open a wound to clean it. I did this when one of my cats got hurt on his ear - either from another cat's teeth or claws. The blood around it was all dried and hard. I soaked it with cotton wool (cotton balls) moistened with plain, warm water until the wound itself was visible. I cleaned it with Betadine and rinsed thoroughly (vet said this was ok) and then put Neosporin on it for a couple of days. It healed up on its own.

Keep an eye on it. Make sure the skin is normal underneath - not red and inflamed - and track it to make sure it is improving every day.

Thanks Addiebee
I will have to keep a close eye on that tail. Hope it will heal by itself.
