MY CAT HATES HAVING ANYTHING IN HER EARS!!! AND NOW SHE HAS EAR MITES!
HOW CAN I CLEAN HER EARS WITHOUT HER BITING AND SCRATCHING THE SHIT OUT OF MY ARMS!??
I’m trying to help her, but she doesn’t understand and I can’t even get the Q-tip past the first few hairs in her ears before she goes apeshit. Either ear does the same. The vet cleaned em once but the mites came back, and now I’m stuck with the same problem.
Is there a better way to get my cat to relax so I can get rid of these pests?
give it a sedative
none of my cats got the kind of problem, all of them. is it some kind trait that they get the mites more often?
Also, I don’t think the cat was helping you…it looked like it Hated it.
WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING!!!??? That cat is not enjoying it in fact it looks like he’s in pain! Q tips are dangerous to humans and most probably to cats alike!
nonsense. cats in pain are very defensive and violent. if that cat hated it, it would have scratched, torn, and bitten her extensively. It was scratching its own ears because they itched.
relax, the cat was scratching its ears because they were itchy.
yes there is. my cat has them. try taking a towel and put it over her and cover the paws. allow the head to remain out. rub her and calmly talk to her. then try an otc solution from ptco or petsmart. =) hope it works!
this is my cat, this is what he does. i clean his ears and he scratches. i have to be careful because he’ll cut the inside of his ear with his claw.
I’m pretty sure cleaning cat ears are not required..
can a cat loose some hair from having ear mites?
well ear mites is very common among cats unfortunately and if one cat has it, it will infect ALL of the other cats that are around them. So unfortunately the only real way to get rid of them is to get them medication. otherwise, they can rupture their eardrums and do severe damage from scratching. the medication is very expensive but worth it as when my cat had it, it cured it RIGHT away.
I already posted it above but the only way to cure it is medication. just cleaning it out doesn’t actually make the problem of the ear mites go away as they lay eggs within the ears and will just keep coming back. The medication is expensive but worth it and it saves your cat a great deal of irritation, pain and unease and cures it right away.
Bonnie had ear mites. That was gross!
whats the medication called?
Is there anyone here that actually has a clue about cat health?
@Sonicdash0 I’m glad to hear that none of your cats have ear mites. Bonnie (English Springer Spaniel that my parents and I owned on Mira Vista Court in Daly City,CA) had ear mites. Drops were applied into her ears. She waggled her head in a fast fashion and boy it sucked to have ear mites in the ears.
