When does someone use a home remedy ear mites treatment on their pet? You'll know it's time when you see scratching around the ears that doesn't stop, and witness the clumps of brown junk that keep coming back to the area, despite repeated attempts by you to clean it off. These are signs of an infestation that must be dealt with. Ear mites are parasites that feed off an animal's blood supply, and are easily passed between those living in close quarters. Although known to infest dogs, they're more common to cats and other types of pets, such as ferrets and rabbits. Left untreated, the pests continue to multiply, and feed off the blood and tissue. Not only does this cause pain and make the ears bleed, but in the long run, permanent damage, such as hearing loss, can occur from bacterial infections. Not everyone has the money to take their pet into the vet when he's sick, however, in the case of ear mites, luckily, there are some effective home remedies that should be able to help take care of the problem: Mineral or corn oils - Inexpensive mineral oil can be used to combat mites, by smothering them. Corn oil does the same thing, but also soothes the irritated ear canals and speeds up the healing process, due to certain properties in its make up. To use, place some on a few cotton balls, and get a decent amount in the canals. Clean around the whole ear area. Repeat the process every day, for a total of three days. Olive oil - Its benefits to one's health endless, killing mites is on the list, as well - although almond oil is equally effective in this case. To make a solution, take 400 IU of vitamin E oil and mix it with one half ounce of olive oil, and administer through a dropper. You need to be sure the solution is room temperature - and no colder - when you squeeze the dropper into the animal's ear, or he'll probably physically show you his discomfort. Clean the ear area and the canals carefully, with several clean cotton swabs. This treatment needs to be repeated every other day, for a total of 6 six days, then allow the ears to rest for three more. Upon resuming the treatment, repeat the same "every other day" protocol, this time for six weeks - as this breaks the reproduction cycle. Yellow dock root extract and water - This is a very effective way to combat mites. You mix 9 drops of the extract, with one tablespoon of water, and make sure it's room temperature before you apply the 1/2 dropper-full of solution into the ears. Keep in mind that because mite eggs are tough to kill - especially in regards to most of the home treatments - you must do this every other day for a number of weeks before stopping. As with the olive oil, repeated application to the's ears will eventually put a stop to the mite's reproduction cycle. Mite control with shampoo - Since mites don't always stick to the ear and head area of an animal, it's a good idea to shampoo the coat to keep it "mite free". A great way to complete the wash is with a final rinse of yellow dock tea and water. Shampoo - Shampoo your furry companion, and then make the final rinse an infusion of yellow dock tea and water. This is an effective way to rid the coat of mites that have traveled beyond the "head zone". So, all is not lost when you can't get to the vet for a infestation. Hopefully, one of these home remedy ear mites treatments will work for your and your furry companion. Remember - you may need to have someone standing by when you attempt one on Fluffy or Fido - as many animals hate the cure even more than the disease - and will waste no time in letting you know.
