Oh, so how did you know she had earmites? What are the signs? I am just curious what to watch out for and what to look out for with my baby..
But Eury is still adorable with or without his fur... =) |
Eury was scratching at her ears and there was no sign of an infection and the vet has this great tool where they put this tool in their ears (like a normal ear-examining tool) and it magnifies and shows what the inside of the ear look like on a monitor. When we saw an ear mite (a tiny/microscopic bug) crawling around I literally gasped!
Thanks to the meds, she stopped scratching her ears but then she started to scratch at her neck and body. She didn't have fleas, she did have some dry skin but it wasn't bad, and the vet said that some times ear mites migrate away from the ears to get away from the meds. So to cover all the bases and yet not give her lots of meds, we shaved Eury, conditioned her skin, and then the vet gave us some meds, mostly to prevent infection and to get rid of the remaining ear mites.
Hope that helps
