Spot-On - Time to work for ear mites?
Hi - I'm new here and need all the wisdom I can get for my Max. (I also have Baby, but she's not suffering as badly).
Max has had ear mites for quite some time and I tried Baby oil and cotton swabbing them, but after a month there was no difference and they had gone to his tail causing hair loss. So, 2 days ago I bought some Zodiac Spot-On and I'm wondering first of all if anyone knows how long it will take to see if it is working or not and secondly, does anyone know if I can put ear-mite drops in his ears while he has the Zodiac stuff on him? If anyone has any ideas about what to do about his dry fur I would really appreciate any help I can get for this or, will that just get better when the ear mites disappear? Your help is very, very appreciated and direly needed. Thanks, MaxMom |

Ear mites are very contagious and can cause the cat a lot of discomfort. Your vet can clean out the ears safely and prescribe something that really works, like Revolution. -yngver |

With the money you've spent on OTC stuff, you could have paid for a vet visit and some prescription medication. If they truly are that bad, please get to a vet soon. Mites can, eventually, cause hearing loss. |

I wanted to hear from anyone who had successfully handled this problem themselves. *But, thanks for taking the time to reply. For very minor cases of ear mites, it's possible to treat it yourself. When it's a more serious case, like what yours sounds like, it's nearly impossible to treat it yourself. I think that's why everyone here suggested a vet visit. |

Please take your kitty to the vet. Revolution works well, Meep's been on it for some years now. jmc |
