Hi everyone
I think my shihtzu has an ear mite problem... I have been cleaning his ears twice a week following an ear infection a few months ago, and all seemed well. However over Christmas we missed just one session, and went a week without an ear clean, and it looks like the mites are back. The inside of his ear is slightly red, and looks a bit sore. I've found a few of the tell-tale "coffee grounds" which makes me think it's mites again. I'm cleaning his ears with Epi-Otic, and have started using Otodex ear drops. It's probably too soon to say whether they are working yet, as I've only used them for 2 days so far, but I wondered whether anyone has any recommendations for him. Does anyone know of a treatment that will get rid of the mites? Also if anyone has a recommendation of a treatment I can use to keep him mite free, that would be great.
Many thanks :eyeroll:
