Ear Mites In Dogs Treatment
Does my dog have mites or an infection in her ear?
My dog has one ear that I recently noticed has been very itchy, and she’s been shaking her head like crazy. I cleaned it last night and used a cotton ball to eliminate as much disgusting black wax as I can. I know that this is not how her ear should be. She doesn’t seem in pain, just very itchy. I’m using an over-the-counter mite treatment to see if the condition improves, but is there anything else I can do before taking her to the Vet? I’m open to anything to either make her more comfortable, or to improve the condition.
Your dog can have either one or both, and only a vet can tell you for sure. Anyway…………usually it hurts a dog when it’s an infection, but it itches a lot when it’s ear mites. You can see them under a microscope, but to a naked eye, it looks like a brownish/ red gooey stuff, with a very distinguished odor. Ear mites can cause permanent damage to the inner ear, and need to be medically treated right away.
An easy way to get rid of ear mites, is to put few drops of a vegetable cooking oil, i.e. Weston, in each ear, have to dog shake its head for few seconds, then clean the ear out with q-tips. Don’t need to worry about going too far in with a q-tip, for a dog ear canal is shaped like the letter L, making it impossible to enter the inner ear. This should be done twice a day, for a week.
Now, I’m NOT suggesting here the “do-it-yourself” thing, as I don’t recommend any treatment unless you know for sure, from the vet’s examination, what it is.
In case of an infection, it must be treated with antibiotics. Left it untreated, the infection can permanently damage the inner ears, and worse, get into the bloodstream, causing kidney failure, and become fatal.
Ear Disease in Dogs can be caused by ear mites, allergies or yeast infections
