Ever wondered what could lurk in your pets ears?
What are ear mites?
The ear mite, Otodectes cynotis, is a surface mite that lives on cats, dogs, rabbits, and ferrets. It is usually found in the ear canal but it can also live on the skin surface. Ear mites are highly contagious, and animals become infested by direct contact with another infested animal. The mite is barely visible to the naked eye.
What are the clinical signs of ear mites?
Ear mites are a common cause of ear disease and infection, although other ear conditions may cause similar clinical signs. They are the second most common ectoparasite (external parasite) found on pets; the most common is the flea.
Clinical signs of infestation vary in severity from one pet to another, and may include combinations of:
Ear irritation, leading to scratching at the ears or head shaking.
A dark waxy or crusty discharge from the ear.
Areas of hair loss resulting from self-trauma caused by the dog’s scratching or excessive grooming.
A crusted rash around or in the ear.
An aural hematoma (a large blood blister on the ear, caused by rupture of small blood vessels between the skin and cartilage); this occurs due to the dog scratching at their ears.
