Re: Ear Mites

Our vet told us that ear mites can sometimes take longer treatment to get on top of them...we have treated our cats/dogs for up to a month and that worked. ...have they seen a vet or are you using over the counter ear drops?

Re: Ear Mites

Hello thank you I treated them with XENO in may I think and have treated them with Canaural so many times I cannot count. Will go back to vets and ask for more help with this.

Re: Ear Mites

Can mites re-infest via bedding etc?
Maybe treat them all, give them clean bedding and the hutches and corners a steam-clean.
(not for a second suggesting they aren't clean lol but an all over thing might help)

Well the vet did say to burn the bedding, but I have spent a fortune on hammock etc so did not really want to but a steam cleaner may help Thanks
