Does My Dog Have Ear Mites?
There is a parasite that feast on the epidermal waste of dogs and cats alike. They are earmites. If you have dogs of your own, or if you care for dogs, you need to know about the possibility of these buggers.
They are large enough to be seen most of the time by the naked eye. A magnifying glass will help you see them quite easily. You may start to notice if your dog is acting strangely or scratching his ears a lot. Your dog could develop a serious yeast infection. This can happen if he scratches, but sometimes it happens even if he doesn’t.
A brownish discharge around your dog’s ears can alert you to these dog ear mites. Mites stimulate the production of ear wax in your dog’s ear, so if you notice a lot of build up, you may want to check things out.
You can tell yourself if your dog has ear mites, simply by using a cotton swab to gently remove some of the wax from your dog’s ear. If you look at this wax sample under a magnifying glass, you’ll be able to tell whether there are mites infesting your dog’s ear.
It is very important to get your dog treated right away if he has ear mites. Besides the fact that they can really make your dog positively miserable, they are very dangerous and can cause your dog’s ear drum to rupture and cause seizures and even death.
The mites are rather mobile as adults. It’s easy enough for them to migrate from one animal to the next, infesting all your other pets. Be sure that you inspect your other animals for the signs of ear mites too.
