In need of some advice..... Hey all.. ok so i took Zima to the vet 2 days ago for his 2nd vacc and to have his ears checked as he was scratching at them a bit... It was as i suspected - EAR MITES! (Eww they are so gross, the vet let us look at them under the microscope!!!) So anyway she gave Zima a shot for parasites to get rid of them, she said that he would need 3 injections in total every 10 days... I have noticed since i bought him home from the vet that his ears STINK! It is such a weird smell i can't even begin to describe it to you... I gave him a bath today for the 1st time as i thought he might just be dirty but it didn't help the smell from his ears AT ALL!!! Do you think it's the ear mites causing this smell? I mean the vet would have noticed an infection surely!? I will take him back tomorrow to have it checked out either way... :animal-pa Thanks all :animal-pa |
What was the name of the shot for the ear mites? Shots (Ivermectin) can be given for other types of mites but they aren't standard for pups with ear mites I don't think.:confused: There can be a smell if it is ear mites. When bathing, it is best to put cotton balls in their ears and possibly use a drying solution when you're done. It helps protect against yeast infections in their ears. |
I never heard of a shot for ear mites. Doesn't it say on your bill what the inection was. My vet always gives me an itemized statement |
My boy had stinky ears for about a year. I took him to the vet, nothing...no mites, no infection, nothing. I started cleaning them every other day with a Q-tip ( not too deep) and ear cleaner for animals. It seems to be gone now and has been gone for awhile. |

if they did the ear swab test, then it could have been seen , so im sure the smell is from that...i know exactly the smell is, so just give it time....just give it till the end of the week and see what happens...ive never had injections for ear mites, just typical ear meds did the trick where i used to work....keep us posted! |

I have had a look in his health book and it says 'Ivermect....' i can't read the other letters something like 'rminy' and next to it in brackets is 'Otodectes' or something to that nature, very hard to read writing! does this make any sense??? I know he had 'Welpan' on the 24/12/08 and his next dose was due on the 8th Jan but when i asked the vet if i should come back for that she said no the injection she gave him was to cover 'all' parasites........ he is 12wks on Thursday... Apart from all this is he is a VERY happy, healthy, playful pup! He weighs 1kg, eats very well and drinks and wees loads!!! |
when my cat had ear mites, her ears smelt bad. |
