Once a cat develops ear mites, a large black lumpy discharge will appear in the ear canal and once this occurs, a hospital visit is required to confirm the treatment. Treatment requires deworming e.g. in vitro deworming medication such as Big Pet. Next, the ear canal needs to be cleaned by applying 4-6 drops of ear wash to the ear canal and then gently rubbing it, the cat will automatically flap its ears. At this time you need to take a cotton swab to clean the external ear canal. After this, the ear canal needs to be treated with ear mite medication. Commonly used medication: Ear Cleaner, Ear Mite Cleaner, etc. Prevention requires regular ear canal cleaning before the disease develops or after the disease has been cured.
