Effective And Safe Herbal Ear Mite Medicine
Dog Ear Mites - Cat Ear Mites - Get Rid Of Them Here!
Ear Mites information and Ear Mites facts; plus how to kill Ear Mites; because my owner (btw, I'm Sissy, on the left), says the only information on the internet, (which isn't much), is from people that just want you to buy their ear mite medicine.
My owner Deb says those ear mites are nasty critters, and your dog or cat can get really sick if you don't kill the ear mites. On this page there is a natural ear mite herbal medicine for treating earmites in dogs, and it even works for cats too! You'll also find out how very dangerous ear mites are below.
Ear Mite Information
Ear mites can be a source of severe annoyance and disease for your dog and cat. These mites spend most of their life in the ears and are very irritating. Dog ear mites and cat ear mites will often cause your pet to scratch to the point where it tears out all of the hair and creates bleeding sores around the ears.Constantly scratching can cause damage to the tiny blood vessels inside the dog's ears too, leading to swelling, and possible infections from the broken blood vessels.
This scratching can also result in re-infestation with ear mites from the paw or tail.
Ear mites are extremely contagious and can be passed from cat to cat, but also from other pets like dogs, hamsters, mice, rabbits, ferrets, guinea pigs, and any other furry mammals, caged or otherwise.
Multiple pet households should watch for and treat ear mites in all their animals if ear mites are found in even one of their pets.
The signs of dog ear mites and cat ear mites show up as a discharge or build up of ear wax in the animal's ears that looks like coffee grounds, and the ears have an unpleasant odor. Ear mites will also leave a brown or black crust on the outer ear.
They live deep inside the ear canal in the lining of the skin, and like to feed on ear wax and tissue fluids, while the ear mites' saliva tends to increase the amount of ear wax available to feed on.
Dogs and cats can get ear mites at any age but younger pets are more susceptible. Ear mites are quite different from the mites that cause mange. Ear mites can sometimes be seen without a microscope when in clusters and are visible under a magnifying glass.
More signs that your dog or cat has ear mites can be itchy ears; they will scratch at the base of their ears, or they shake their heads a lot. Another indicator is when you rub your animal's ears hard, they shake their head vigorously when you stop rubbing.
Ear mites in dogs and cats can cause permanent hearing lost if left untreated.
If an ear mite infestation is ignored it will almost always be followed by a bacterial infection because the bacteria find easy access to living tissue through the holes left by the mites. Such an infection can spread deep into the ear and eventually penetrate the brain causing convulsions and death.
Veterinarian treatment is antibiotics, which will weaken your dog or cat's immune system.
Prevent Ear Infections By Getting Rid Of Ear Mites
One aspect of dog health that is often missed by many is the area of dog ear health.The inside ear of a dog is an extremely sensitive area and can pose many challenges. This is especially true since there are many ear related infections and issues that your dog can get. Another reason why dog ears provide a significant challenge is due to the fact that many dogs have ears that droop over the ear canal, which provides an unhealthy environment for earmites and bacteria to breed.
Anyone should be able understand, that if the inner ear is left neglected and not groomed properly, there is a high probability of ear infections. Ear problems in dogs can be categorized based on the ease of diagnosis:
The easiest to diagnose is the presence of ear mites. A simple microscopic examination of the ear or the wax that has been scraped off the ear is enough to determine whether your dog has ear mites or not. Though you should check for the presence of ear mites regularly, excessive shaking of the head, itching and scratching should make you do a thorough and detailed check up.
Other dog ear infections that can be a cause of concern are those related to bacterial or yeast infections in the ear. These are relatively more difficult to diagnose since the bacteria and yeast are not visible to the naked eye. To determine whether your dog suffers from such an ear infection, a visit to the veterinarian becomes mandatory.
The third kind of ear infection that is the most difficult to detect and therefore treat are chronic ear ailments. These present a different level of challenge for the dog owner since they tend to re-occur even after having been treated successfully once. Chronic ear infections make the dog smelly and miserable. Some pets can also become extremely irritable and snappy at times. Chronic ear ailments can cause the ear tissue to become thicker and spongier over time. And to add to the misery, the ear wax producing glands become over productive and secrete large amounts of inflammatory wax. The only positive aspect to the whole affair is that this problem is not common among all dogs and is prevalent largely only among those dogs that have ears that cover the ear canals.
Please become aware of the issue and be proactive in looking for ear infection treatments and ear mites in dogs home remedies that can be used to prevent and cure the infections.
Prevent Yeast Infections In Dogs by Eliminating Ear Mites
Yeast infections in dogs can be detected by the presence of scales on skin. These scales give out a fetid greasy smell and can be extremely offending.The scientific name of the yeast that is usually present in dogs is Malassezia pachydermatis. It can appear in the ear, rectum, vagina or anal sacs. The name pachydermatis comes from the fact that the yeast infected skin is similar to the thick skin that most pachyderms have. And therefore the infected area of the skin resembles the tough skin that elephants, rhinos and hippos have.
The mere presence of yeast usually does not cause any major problem for the dog. But in most cases the yeast infection indicates the presence of another infection. These other infections and allergies can cause abnormal itching in a dog. This makes the dog skin more vulnerable to yeast attacks. To confirm the presence of a yeast infection in your dog, all you need to do is to scrape some skin off the infected area and get it examined under a microscope in a laboratory.
To treat the yeast infection effectively, it is essential to target the fundamental infection that causes it.
One such infection that can cause yeast infections to spread is the presence of dog ear mites.
Oral drugs and derma creams used to treat infections are expensive. Home remedies for dog ear mites on the other hand are less expensive but equally effective in removing the real cause of the problem.
Since the ear infections can develop into complications like hematoma, it is prudent to try and prevent dog ear mites from occurring in the first place.
Yeast infections can also be prevented by ensuring that your dog has healthy skin. Use degreasing shampoos to remove excessive oil from overactive sebaceous glands. Yeast infected parts should be washed with acetic acid wipes and cleaned later. A home remedy for cleaning these areas is vinegar mixed with water.
