      1. What are cat ear mites?

      Cat ear mites are common ear parasites in cats. There are many types of ear mites, the most common is Otodectes Cynotis, which accounts for about 90% of the total number of ear mites, and feeds on the epidermal residue and tissue fluid in the ear. The parasite is so small that it can usually be seen with the help of an otoscope or microscope.

      Second, what are the symptoms of cat ear mites and how to judge?

      Mites use their mouthparts to puncture the skin to feed, causing mechanical damage to the epidermis of the ear canal, and secreting toxic substances when feeding, causing chemical damage to the nerve endings of the epidermis. Stimulate. Therefore, cats with ear mites have the following characteristics:

      2. The ear is extremely itchy, so I often scratch the skin of the ear, or rub it back and forth on the rough surface to relieve the itching.

      3. Cats often shake their heads, trying to shake out the dirt in their ears.

      4. There is a peculiar smell in the depths of the cat's ear, which is extremely smelly when it is close to it.

      3. Is borneol boric acid really effective against cat ear mites?

      I often see people sharing the experience of using borneol to cure cat ear mites. I specifically checked that boric acid is a weak antiseptic and has a weak inhibitory effect on bacteria and fungi. It is used to treat bacterial and fungal infections, while ear mites are parasites, so it can be seen that boric acid is ineffective against cat ear mites. If your cat ear mites are treated with boric acid borneol, it can only mean that it is not really infected with ear mites, but bacteria or fungi, but the symptoms are similar to those of cat ear mites.

      Here I just remind everyone that if the cat has symptoms of ear mites, it is best to go to the hospital to check to see if it is cat ear mites or bacterial fungal infection. The treatment methods are different. Don't delay the cat's condition because of your own misjudgment.

      4. How to treat cat ear mites?

      It is not difficult to treat cat ear mites. Give the cat medication, clean the ear canal at least once a day, and last for more than 15 days until the cat ear mites are completely cured.

      First clean the ear canal with a cat ear wash to remove secretions, and then use ear miticide. Acarexx (containing ivermectin) and Milbemite (containing mosesin) are very effective single-use topicals. Tresaderm (containing thiabendazole) can be used to kill ear mites and eggs. The course of treatment takes 10-14 days. This medicine can also treat most bacterial and fungal infections at the same time.

      5. How to prevent cat ear mites?

      Cat ear mites belong to the category of parasites. To eliminate them completely, the first thing to do is to deworm cats on time. It is related to the deworming medicine itself and the cat's living environment and diet.

      My family does not eat raw meat, and usually stays at home and does not go out much. So in winter when parasites are relatively less active, I deworm it every 3 months, and in summer when parasites are rampant, I deworm it every month. The anthelmintic medicine uses Blein both inside and outside the body. This product is currently the most widely used cat anthelmintic on the market. It has a wide range of control. Like the cat ear mites mentioned above, it also has good preventive effect.

In general, cat ear mites are not difficult to treat. As long as you insist on giving cats medicine and deworming on time, the cat will get better soon. .
