Dog / Mix - Answered 1283 days ago
Hi. So I noticed my dog keeps on scratching his ear. Both ears but mostly on his left ear. Is this ear mites? I have ear wash/drops that I bought on a local store. I wanna try this first before sending him to the vet. Any other tips that you can share to me? Thanks. Also. My dog has not been groomed yet cos he just got his shots last July 2 and the vet advised to refrain from bathing for 7 days. Thanks.

It's most likely ear mites. You can use the wash you bought but it's perfect you just visit your vet. Your veterinarian may prescribe an ear medication for dogs to eliminate secondary bacterial and yeast infections. Prescription flea and tick treatments might also be administered. Several of these are specifically labeled to kill mites and are the safest, most effective means of treating dog ear mites.
