i found this online, http://www.bullwrinkle.com/index.htm....htm~indexmain i've never used anything you can buy in the store for ear mites, but you can try.

Also, if you have any other dogs or cats you will want to treat their ears too because ear mites can be transmitted to other animals
I took Cali and Maya in today for microchipping and told the vet that she had been scratching her nose area and rubbed some hair off sothey did a skin scrape and looked at it under the microscope and charged me 27.00 for cytology, 14.00 for office call and 14.00 for medicine. They didn't charge an office visit for my Pom since she was only there for microchipping.
