Will ear mite drops hurt my dog if he doesn't actually have mites?

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Haru. He will likely be fine, but I cannot say for sure without knowing the name of the medication you have given him. If you want to submit your question again with more information, we can give you a more detailed answer. I hope this information helps!

Do not worry, nothing bad will happen, basically what it states is that she needs at least 4 drops for it to be effective, putting in more will not harm her but the bottle might finish sooner than expected because of that.

Do not worry, these formulations are very safe and act locally, even if you apply much more than you should, your dog will not be in any danger, the only problem is that you might finish the drops too soon if you use too much and you might need to buy another bottle from your vet.

Yes, it can hurt. You don't know if the dog's ear drum is intact, and putting medication into an ear with a ruptured ear drum is bad. In addition, ear infections can be caused by ear mites and bacteria as well as yeast, so this prescription medication may not work anyway. Do not give it to Ben. I can give some resources that may help him afford a vet. If paying for a vet is an issue, you can see if your vet accepts payment plans, if there is a low cost clinic in your area, or you can apply for Care Credit online. There is also an organization called Red Rover that give grants for treatment of sick animals, and you can see if you qualify for one of their grants. Best Friends also has a list of resources that offer financial assistance on their website. http://www.humanesociety.org/animals/resources/tips/trouble_affording_pet.html?credit=web_id91754962 https://www.redrover.org https://www.carecredit.com http://bestfriends.org/resources/financial-aid-pets http://lessonsfromaparalyzeddog.com/when-pet-owners-cant-afford-veterinary-bills/ http://www.dogheirs.com/resources-affordable-veterinary-care/ Check out these resources to see if they can help him. In honesty, if he cannot afford a vet visit for an ear infection, then maybe keeping her isn't a good idea. I hope this helps.

There are ear drops to treat earmites. After you apply then, gently massage the ears... this helps the medicine coat the entire ear surface. If you are not confident it is covering the ear, they make drops that go in the back of their necks that are labeled for ear mites.

Intoxication is possible even though if you put the right dose for his weight side effects should not be dangerous. I would recommend to wash the ear canal with water to get rid of the spot on solution as much as possible. Please give us more informations about the product you applied to receive more specific advices from us.

No, I would not give this medication to Eden. It is never recommended to self treat your animal, as you may accidentally do more harm than good. This drug is not prescribed by a vet to be used in your dog, and therefore is not safe to use in Eden.
