Regular parasite treatments can prevent and kill these mites to prevent them setting up home in you pets ears 🏡 If there is a big infestation of them, your pet will likely need further treatment like a deep ear clean, medicated ear drops or pain relief 🙈

It’s an ear mite breeding party 🙈
This is just a small section of the sample we took from a cats ear last week 👂 Ear mites can multiply to thousands very easily if not treated 🫣
Sometimes it can be very hard to tell that your pet may have ear mites, but common signs are them scratching at their ears or dark brown dirty in their ears 🐜
If you are concerned about your pets ears, it’s always best to get them checked to see exactly what’s going on 👀
