A little friend came to me two days ago and told me that there are black things in the ears of my cat, what the hell is going on? According to my years of experience in raising cats, there are black things in the ears of cats, which are likely to be suffering from cat ear mite disease. Cat parents need to pay special attention.
Observing the symptoms to determine whether it is cat ear mites
The diagnosis of cat ear mites can be determined from the amount, color, smell, and reaction of the cat’s ear canal secretions. When a cat is infected with ear mites, its ear canal secretions will increase a lot, even if it is cleaned every day, it will not be clean; the color of the ear canal secretions will turn black or dark brown, a bit like coffee grounds; close to the cat’s ear canal When the cat is exposed to the ear, it will smell a foul odor or odor; the cat frequently scratches its ears, and even scratches the skin, and some cats will shake their heads vigorously, trying to get the dirt out of their ears.
2. These steps help to clean up cat ear mites
1. Clean up cat ear mites, preferably with two people. Cat parents should first find a well-lit place to see what’s going on inside the cat’s ear canal. Then wrap the cat with a blanket and immobilize its limbs to prevent the cat from accidentally injuring someone when the ear canal is cleaned later.
2. Clamp the medical absorbent cotton with medical hemostatic forceps, dip an appropriate amount of baby oil, and gently wipe the cat’s ear canal. After about a minute or two, the earwax will become soft, then wipe it off!
3. Put the ear wash into the cat’s ear canal, and then rub the roots of the cat’s ears with your hands to make them fully fused. After the fusion, the cat can get rid of the dirt in the ears.
4. Adhere to the above steps, wash your ears every morning and evening, and you can gradually restore healthy ears after a few weeks.
3. Deworming on time to prevent the recurrence of cat ear mites
Many feces shoveling officers have encountered the situation that cat ear mites cannot be treated repeatedly, because the deworming is not done properly. Ear mites also belong to the category of parasites. To completely eliminate them, you must deworm your cat regularly every month. You can try Bleuen, which is a four-effect compound formula composed of fipronil (S)-methoprene, acetamido abamectin, praziquantel, and the first two components are specially used to deal with cats. Ear mites, fleas, ticks, lice and other ectoparasites and their eggs, and the latter two components are used to kill roundworms, tapeworms, hookworms and other internal parasites. Parasite control in cats. The usage is very simple, just remove the hair on the shoulders and neck of the cat, and drop the medicine on the skin.
Of course, other than that is not enough! Cat ear mites are not only parasitic on cats, but their eggs can also be scattered in various areas where cats are active, so the cleaning and disinfection of the home environment is also a top priority, such as floors, sofas, sheets, quilt covers, cat beds, The dead corners of the room and other places need to be dealt with. Special attention should be paid to disinfecting human shoes to prevent ear mites from being brought back when going out. In addition, if the cat’s body resistance is poor, it is also easy to be infected with ear mites. Therefore, during the cat’s illness, the owner can properly strengthen the cat’s nutrition, eat some nutritional cream, or make cat food or the like. As a result, it is very difficult for cat ear mites to recur.
