My oldest cat, Amidee, seems to have ear mites. He gets thick brown buildup in his ears every week. He was treated by my vet a year ago, but they came back. Strangely, my two younger cats were treated successfully and haven't been reinfected by Amidee. My only theory is that it's because Amidee is a long hair, and the mites can't get through his ear hair. Anyway, money is a little tight right now, and if I can avoid an extra trip to the vet, I would like to. I bought an over-the-counter ear mite treatment (PetGold Mite-X) and tried it with Amidee. I only gave him 3 treatments, because it seemed to make the problem worse. Does anyone have any advice on whether or not I should keep trying the treatment (aka is it supposed to get worse before it gets better?) or another over-the-counter treatment that might be more effective? Any insight or help is welcome.
Have a nice day!
