Hi guys.
I am freaking out about an ear mite solution that my vet gave my 6 month old, 7lbs persian cat. She prescribed Bio-Groom Ear Mite treatment, which has a concentration of 0.15% pyrethrins. I've used it every other day for the past week on my cat, and I've noticed that as soon as I put it into his ears, he becomes irritable and lethargic for the rest of the day and his ears get red. On the bright side, the medication seems to be working, he has way less gunk in his ears and seems to want to scratch less.
Today I used it again, and he is unusually depressed...he has been eating and drinking water, but seems to want to sleep more than anything. Do you guys know anything about the safety of these products? I am at my wit's end with his earmites, and I figured the vet would know what to give him. But it is clearly giving him discomfort and I don't think I want to continue with the treatment. Any ideas would be helpful!
