...d a problem with ticklish ears. He shakes his head lots. I've been using Revolution because it kills Ear Mites, although the vet says there are none. Now he's got ticks, but Revolution doesn't cover ticks. Frontline Plus does. Can I alternate these products each month?

I can not tell you this is safe b/c we do not know how safe it is. Revolution is not recommended to be used in combination with most other flea and tick products. vetcare

...nymore, all he does is whine. he is also constantly scratching his ears, he has had Ear Mites alot and we cant seem to get rid of them.

I recommend a vet visit. There are many different ways to kill eear mites. Has the vet looked under a mircoscope to confirm ear mites is the problem

...ut on my cat's fur that will kill Ear Mites instead of using the ear drops. I heard that Frontline Plus also kills Ear Mites but it doesn't mention this on the information on the websites.

Revolution kills ear mites and it is applied to the skin. Vetcare

...of getting rid of Ear Mites in a six month old cat?

You can purchase otc ear mite medication at most pet stores or call 1800-844-1427 for help. vetcare

... she now is being tormented with Ear Mites. shaking her head constantly and scrathing. what is the best product?

I usually use a prescription medications called tresaderm but in a stray cat I would recommend either Revolution ( which also kills fleas so you do not need to use advanatge)or Acarexx. All are prescription meds. vetcare

...or do I have to take them to a vet.

You should have success with a good otc product labeled for ear mites. If you do not see an improvement then I would recommend a vet visit. vetcare

...

I usually treat ear mites with tresaderm or acarexx. Both are by prescription only. There are some otc meds available as well. vetcare

...ns? Thanks

There are many products sold over the counter that work ok. I use tresaderm or acarexx. Acarexx is good b/c it works with only one treatment. vetcare

...my dog won't let me use drops.

No pills but you can talk to your vet about Revolution, or ivermectin inj. vetcare

...she have Ear Mites, or fleas, if so what treatment can we use without the high cost of vetenarian expense.

She may have an ear infection. Ear mite meds are sold over the counter but if your pet has an ear infection then it will not work. You can try to clean the ear with Nolvasan flush. A vet visit is recommended. vetcare

...

I recommend that you use tresaderm a drop, 2x daily in the ears for three weeks. If you do not have tresaderm then try mineral oil. Good luck, vetcare

...ke they hurt. Is this a characteristic of Ear Mites? If so, is there anything that I can do to avoid going to the vet's office?

Ear mites are usually very itchy. Is your pet scratching his/her ears or is there discharge from the ears? If so, then I recommend a vet visit. This could mean infection or ear mites. vetcare

...eloped Ear Mites, I took him to the vet for treatment about three weeks ago and they put ear drops in infected ear only. It has not seemed to help, and I since rescued a kitten about 9 wks. old and figure he now has been infected also. Can you tell me what you recommend for the mites and can it be used now and on both felines? Thank You

Tresaderm works well for ear mites. I usually recommend that you treat for 3 weeks. You can also use Revolution which protects your cats from heartworm, intestinal worms, ear mites and fleas. vetcare

...my 4 yr. old calico has a bad case of Ear Mites.. What do you suggest I give her that is not nearly impossible to administer?

I recommend Revolution which is applied to the back of the neck on the skin. Another product is Acarexx which is applied once to the ears. A shot of Ivermectin may help as well. The only problem is that these are prescription medications so your vet would have to write a rx. The shot would have to be given by your vet. vetcare

...incision is not draining but it looks as though there is a place where the skin gaps open. Is this dangerous? She also has Ear Mites and should be retreated in two weeks. What is the treatment? I found my last Frontline did not take care of the ticks or fleas. Duchess weighs 65 lbs. The dosage was for an 88 lb. dog. This is a wonderful site for those of us with pets. Thank you.

I recommend a visit to the vet so the incision can be checked. It should not be open at all. Ear mites can be treated many ways. Examples include tresaderm, ivermectin, mineral oil, etc. Try a prevent-a tic collar along with the frontline. vetcare
