What should I do if there are ear mites in cats’ ears? Cats are important partners in our lives. They not only bring us happiness and companionship, but also help us relieve stress and loneliness. If you are a cat lover, you need to learn about cat disease. Among them, ear mites in cat ears are a common disease. Let’s take a look at what to do. The ear mites inside cats’ ears are parasites that grow and reproduce in cats’ ears and cause cats to feel pain and discomfort.

The symptoms include cats often shaking their heads, scratching their ears, headaches, inflammation, etc. Once you find that your cat has the above situation, you need to take it to the pet hospital to see a doctor in time. The doctor will examine the cat and provide treatment plans. There are usually two treatment methods: drug treatment and surgical treatment. Drug treatment is generally applied to the cat's ears by topical drugs, while surgical treatment is to remove ear mites in the ears. Drug treatment is usually better, but it should be noted that the use of drugs should be followed by the doctor's instructions and should not be too much or too little. Although surgical treatment can remove ear mites in cat ears at one time, due to the high risk of surgery, it is necessary to choose the right time to perform the operation.

In addition to treatment, we also need to do a good job of daily management to prevent cats from becoming infected again. First, keep the cat's body clean and hygienic; second, arrange cat health checks regularly to check whether there are parasites in the cat's ears; finally, be careful to avoid contact between cats and animals infected with ear mites. In short, having ear mites in cat ears is a common disease that we cannot ignore. Once a cat is found to have ear disease, we should take it to the pet hospital for examination and treatment in time to prevent the disease from worsening. At the same time, you should pay attention to cat hygiene and health management in daily life to help them grow up healthily and happily.
