Ear mites are bothersome mites that live on and under your pet's skin causing persistent itching, skin inflammation, and dark colored discharge in the ears. If you have a pet with ear mites, follow the steps below to help kill ear mites and prevent future infestations.
How to kill ear mites in your pet's ears.
Before applying any ear mite medication, you should thoroughly clean your pet's ears with a product like our 1-800-PetMeds Ear Cleansing Solution.
After your pet's ears are thoroughly clean, apply the desired ear medication to your pet's ears. Depending on the product's instructions, you may need to massage the medication into the ear.
Allow your pet to shake its head after the medication is applied. Massaging the medication into your pet's ears helps to break up the discharge and will need to be expelled from the ears.
For optimal results, repeat ear mite treatment after 7 days (or more frequently depending on the product instructions). Doing this will allow the medication to kill any recently hatched ear mite eggs and prevent new eggs from being laid.
