Can I use ear cleanser on my 14-week kitten during ear mite treatment?

You can buy Frontline spray and wipe your kitten with this. Wet a q-tip with the spray and just gently insert it into the kittens ear to wet the ear canal. Do not push it hard, do not twist it and do not try to clean the ear. If this does not work within the next few days, you will need to take your kitten to a vet for ear cleaning and treatment.

Hi there and thank you for using pet coach to address your concern. Using kitty ear wipes is absolutely fine. This should not cause any harm to Vienna. If you notice that the ears are not improving, I would recommend using ear drips such as Tresaderm. I hope this helps guide you in the right direction. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.

Hello, you should wait another 2-3 days before cleaning his ears as you may remove some of the medication. After this, you can clean the outside of his ears with a cotton ball. Do not put anything in his ears without your veterinarian instructing you to do so. Hope this helps and best of luck.

Hi and thanks for posting on Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! You may want to consider treating the ear mites with a different medication which is applied to the base of the neck instead of inside the ears. This product is called Revolution and is a prescription medication you can get from your veterinarian that can be used to treat ear mites in cats. Might be a better alternative in Muffin's case. I hope this helps!

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! If he truly has mites, they are not going to completely go away with the peroxide so if the ears get dirty again as before, I recommend you have him evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. If properly diagnosed, ear mites can be easily treated. Best of luck!

If Mau had ear mites or an infection, we would expect him to be scratching at his ears. Since his ears do not seem to bother him and there is no redness, swelling or odor, I would suspect that it is just debris that you are seeing in his ears. You can use a cotton ball (not a Q-tip) to gently wipe away the debris. You should not need to use any ear cleaner or medication. If the debris is getting worse or Mau starts scratching at his ears, I would certainly recommend having your veterinarian examine his ear canals. Good luck! I hope that was helpful.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! The treatment will depend on what exactly is causing the itchiness. For example, if it turns out to be ear mites then the treatment would be to treat the mites. I recommend you have Stellet evaluated by your veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. Mites for example are very easy to treat. Good luck and have a good night.
