I didn't expect that after two days, its ears started to be greasy again, so I completely gave up the medicine in the hospital. I replaced it with the homemade boric acid solution recommended by this friend to treat it. The first time I used it, I wiped out small yellow particles. I think it should be effective, and then I insisted on using it for about 20 days. , The cat ear mites are completely cured!
