Can ear mite drops effectively treat deep mites in my pet's ears?

Yes to be effective I recommend you place a few drops into the ear canal opening. Then rub the ear to massage the medication down into the canal. As the discharge comes out of the ear I clean that with a cotton ball and the ear cleaner. You will not kill the mites if you don’t get the medication into the ear canal.

I usually prescribe Canaural ear drops (100% efficacy) with the following active ingredients: Diethanolamine Fusidate, Framycetin Sulphate, Nystatin, Prednisolone. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.

Canaural (medication with Diethanolamine Fusidate, Framycetin Sulphate, Nystatin and Prednisolone) can be used safely and effectively to get rid of mites in few days. I would recommend to take Joy to your veterinarian and have him treated appropriately. Unfortunately home remedies are not that effective in this case.

Hi and thanks for posting on Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! You may want to consider treating the ear mites with a different medication which is applied to the base of the neck instead of inside the ears. This product is called Revolution and is a prescription medication you can get from your veterinarian that can be used to treat ear mites in cats. Might be a better alternative in Muffin's case. I hope this helps!

Yes you can use a small amount to remove the ear mite debris. Continue to use the medication as directed to make sure you get rid of all the mites. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to help you care for Silver and Blackie.

If you gave the medication according to label instructions, and used the correct size for your dog, then no. It won't harm him to have given the medicine even if he didn't have era mites. Thank you for asking Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach!

If you are noticing redness after the treatment, stop using it. Duchess could be having a reaction to the medication. Revolution applied to the back of the neck will kill ear mites but the treatment must continue for 2-3 months. Use a routine ear cleaner during this time to help clean out the ear wax. Other treatments are also available for ear mite treatment. I recommend to talk with your veterinarian about alternative treatments. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.
