Ear Mites

[Kitari]

What can i give to my dog to help ease the discomfort of ear mites before we can get her to the vet?

[fairlight]

How old is your dog and when did you get her?......When is the vet appointment?

I have used eradimite on my cats before. It worked pretty well, but I had to get it from my vet...............

[Kitari]

she is 12-13 and we have always had her. I mean we think it is ear mites, her appt is in 30 minutes.

Ok....please keep us posted Kitari...I didn't want to give advice until I knew the dogs age.....glad you are taking her to the vet.

[Kitari]

ok. she had a dirty ear and some bacteria. he cleaned it out (but he cleaned it out a week ago last time we were there?) and gave us some drops to give her.

Hopefully the drops will work. I would get some doggie ear wipes too so this way your dogs ears can stay cleaner. I know if I don't clean two out of three of my dogs ears once a week I am setting myself up for big time trouble. Also I onder if your vet actually CLEANED your dogs ears or just did a swabbing.

when I took her about a week ago for her early, he took a long q-tip swished it around with her screaming bloody mrder before it even touched her ear, then him throwing it away.

That was the so called ear cleaning????

[Kitari]

I thought it was. I assumed anyway. it did go in her ear by the way and did come out gunky. Im just saying she started screaming bloody murder before he even touched her ears. XD
