Guest guest Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 I have used tea tree oil diluted in olive oil for this purpose and it worked fine. I had the vet treat it once and the stuff they used caused my cat to continually itch and make the problem worse.

Guest guest Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 I've read that used in the diluted form, if used for prolonged periods in humans ears can cause deafness. It's good you are asking about it. Maybe you could try it on a q-tip on the cat's ears. I don't know.

Guest guest Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 HI, I was just reading the posts about ear mites in dogs. My dogs has ear mites in one of his ears and I went to walmart and bought the hartz ear mite stuff. What is your opinion on the hartz stuff? I'm new to the oils and don't know much about it. I wouldn't mind going natural. The first time my dog got ear mites I used a mixture of half peroxide and half warm water and the hartz. It worked after about a week and a half of cleaning his ear. Any input would be great.

Guest guest Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 Any heavy oil like baby oil or mineral oil will dround mites if left in the ear for awhile ..but the mistake most people make is not putting it in both ears regardless if the mites are in both ears .mites will crawl across the head from ear to ear from cat to cat when sleeping together . I started studying vet medicine 25 years ago when I revised I got charged 35.00 of a eye dropper bottle full of mineral oil for conjunctivitis in a dogs eyes ...by my vet - Jenifer Thursday, July 17, 2008 4:29 PM Re: Yellow Dock HI, I was just reading the posts about ear mites in dogs.

Guest guest Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 I put it in the ear rub the base of the ear not letting he animal shake its head one ear at a time then clean it out with a q-tip ..do it as often as you can until no black comes out or dirt ..if your animal has ear mites you can tell by spreading the ear wax on a black piece of paper you can see the mites as little white specks.. The rubbing alcohol dose a number on the mites and the peroxide cleans the ear the eucalyptus cools the ear - Jenifer Thursday, July 17, 2008 4:32 PM Re: Yellow Dock When you use the solution of peroxide, rubbing alcohol, and eucalyptus do drop it in his ear or wipe it in and do you need to wipe out the extra?

Guest guest Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 It is only being used on cats and dogs and not for extended periods of time! I wouldn't dream of using on a human without a great deal of research first! Thanks for the heads-up, though.

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 Hi Jan, Just got a chance to see you want to help your friends dog with earmites. (??) First, unless you know for sure it is earmites, all the natural treatments using oil(minieral or other) in the world won't help. After working in the veterinary field for 35 years to be honest with you it is the very rare dog that has ear mites. That is a common ailment of cats and rabbits and a few other little pocket pets. Dogs can get them but like I said it is rare and typically not seen in older pets (unless their immune system is compromised). Sometimes we see it in litter's of young pups and usually only then if they are in households that have cats! More in likely the dog has a bacterial or yeast infection - which is the more common ear infections to see in dogs. Yeast infections is very often seen in the summer with high humidity and warmer temps. Yeast infections then open the skin to develop bacterial infections. Both, but especially yeast, are very itchy, very smelly and bacterial are painful. The dog will shake it's head and scratch at its' ear, even moaning at times when the infections get out of hand. Earmites produce a really dirty ear and when you clean them you will see bloody/greasy debris. But the definitive way to check is have an ear swab checked under a microscope. Some veterinarians will sometimes let the owner bring in an ear swab (when finances are tight) to see what is the problem. I'd check. At least once you know for sure then you can know where to go. I do agree that plain oil (olive or sweet Almond) would work IF it is earmites, but NOT if it is a yeast or bacterial infection. Please - if you can loan her a few dollars to have the ear swab checked. It would be best for the dog if you really know what is going on before you treat. There are natural treatments once you know for sure, and they do vary depending on what is wrong. In the best interest of the Dog, Penny A veterinary technician for many, many years!
