What do you do about ear mites in a kitten?

Answer by  Bayarts (470)

A solution of two parts apple cider vinegar to one part water applied to the insides of a kitten's ear will help get rid of ear mites. It is also prudent to apply this mixture to the kitten's tail as it is not uncommon for ear mites to invade this area of the cat's body as well.

Ear mites is a common problem. After your kitten has been initially treated by your veterinarian I would recommend monthly use of Advantage Multi or Frontline Plus to prevent re-infestation.

To treat and prevent ear mites you should take the kitten to a licensed veterinarian. The best treatment for ear mites in kittens is a medicine called Revolution. Revolution is applied once a month and protects against ear mites, fleas, and ticks. It can be a little costly, but it does work.

A natural remedy for ear mites is to take a few tablespoons of apple cidar vinegar and mix it with a cup or so of water in a squirt bottle. Spray it in your cat's ears a couple of times a day until they dissapear and then use this spray once a week or so to prevent them from returning.
