What should I do if dog ear mites are serious?

Ear mites are tiny parasites that live on the skin surface and external auditory canal. They suck lymphocytes and skin cells and feed on tissue residues and tissue nutrients. Ear mites spend their lives on their hosts. They lay eggs in the ear canal and nearby fur. If left untreated, ear mites can cause ear inflammation and potential deafness. Otoliths can easily spread among animals, and even dogs and cats staying indoors may be infected, because humans may also be temporary carriers.

? Treatment of ear mites:

Thoroughly clean the ear canal with special ear washing water for pets and cotton swabs, and then drop it into ear ointment for treatment (such as ear ointment of French Veyron), and rub it on the external ear several times to make the medicine evenly distributed in the ear, 2-3 times a day in the early stage and/kloc-0 times a day in the later stage, depending on the severity of ear mites. Ear mite is a stubborn disease, which requires continuous medication 10 for more than 0 days until it is cured.

All infected pets in the same household must be treated at the same time to reduce the chance of mutual infection.

When cleaning the ear canal, be sure to use hemostatic forceps and absorbent cotton as cotton swabs; Never use a cotton swab, because the stick of the cotton swab is too hard and easy to break, which will damage the epithelial cells of the ear canal and may cause bacterial infection in the future, and then become otitis media. Or it may poke the eardrum and cause inner ear damage. In addition, the cotton swab will push the earwax into the ear canal, block the ear canal and affect the treatment.

? Making method of cotton swab:

? Prepare a small hemostatic forceps, then choose the amount of cotton wool according to the size of the ear canal, and roll it into a cotton swab with a hemostatic forceps to clean the ear. The key point of the roll is to smooth the cotton wool, clamp a "small part" of the cotton wool with the end of the hemostatic forceps, and then rotate it to turn the cotton wool into strips. The rolled shape is longer and the thickness should be moderate. At the same time, the front end of the rubber strip should be longer, so that the earwax can be cleaned deeper into the ear canal. At the same time, because the front end is soft, it will not hurt the ear canal. It is recommended to learn this method from professionals.

? Key points for cleaning ears:

First, pour the ear wash water into the ear canal, then hold the ear with one hand to prevent the ear wash water from flowing out, massage the ear canal with the other hand to make the ear wash water and earwax play a full role, and then clean the ear with a rolled cotton swab for several times. Then drip ear lotion for treatment and massage your ears. The method and gesture of dripping are the same as that of dripping ear wash water.

If you can't learn to make cotton swabs, you can deal with it like this:

Drop a few drops of ear wash water into the ear canal, massage the root of the ear and let the ear wash water fully dissolve the earwax. After that, the dog will definitely shake his head desperately, so that the earwax can be easily thrown into the outer ear shell, and then the thrown earwax can be wiped clean with toilet paper.

Hydrogen peroxide is a strong oxidant and irritating substance, which is usually used for the treatment of rotten wounds or suppurative wounds. Can be used for suppurative otitis externa and otitis media. The ear canal of dogs is delicate, so it is best not to use it without inflammation in the ear canal.
