| Ear Mites?! I took Ace to the vet Saturday and he has ear mites! That freaked me out a little! Has anyone else dealt with ear mites and what causes them? Is this very common? The vet cleaned his ears out really well and gave him a shot for them so he said everything was fine. Just wanted to check with you experts! haha

| Took my Bitsy to the groomer last Friday and she told me the same thing! To be honest I didn't ask how she got them, probably from going outside. She treated her for them and gave me some ear cleaner and treatment for them. I have to treat her everyother day for 10 days, she doesn't like it very much (it's drops for her ears), I guess because it's cold! Anyhow...I had to go to the groomer today and get her food, she said her ears looked really good and I've only given her two treatments!! Good luck, hope I've been of some help!!

| Ahhhh.......earmites! Very common. With earmites the key is to treat for days until they are all killed. At least 3 days, sometimes 2 treatments a day. I use old wives tales remedies so here goes: I use olive oil-just a drop or two. Put in ear with a medicine dropper and give it a minute to reach the bottom of the canal. Then rub the ear at the head until you hear clicking sounds. This lets you know you worked it down where you wanted it to go. Do other ear...(doggies love this) OR use Frontline or whichever GOOD spot on flea treatment you have-liquid only-put in a drop or two with medicine dropper, proceed as above. I usually do the Frontline ear treatments on days I apply the Frontline. A medicine dropper gets the Frontline that stays and coats the green thing Frontline comes in....Uses all if it. I have 4 Yorkies-I learned these things over the years.
