Dog owners should have seen dog ear mites, which are small dots attached to the ears of dogs. Some owners don’t care when they see them, and some people will use alcohol or iodine to smear the dogs. In fact, these are not the correct way to deal with dog ear mites. So how to deal with dog ear mites?
You should know that when dogs have ear mites, cleaning their ears is the most important thing. Iodine and alcohol are used for wound disinfection and are not suitable for use on ear mites and can easily irritate the dog's ears.
The correct way is: disinfect the home environment and clean the dog’s ears.
The main reason why dogs are infected with ear mites is that the moist environment breeds bacteria and causes ear infections. In addition, ear mites are also contagious. If there are multiple dogs at home, the owner should isolate the sick dogs.
And carefully spray and disinfect the home with disinfectant, and do a general cleaning of the home to reduce the breeding of bacteria and mites. Also, pay attention to keeping the dog cage and kennel clean, dry, ventilated and breathable, so as to prevent the dog from being infected with ear mites again.
After the home is disinfected, it’s time to clean the dog’s ears. Officers can use wet cotton swabs to clean the dog’s ears. If the ears are not clean, do not touch the dog directly with your hands. You can dip a cotton swab in vegetable oil and soften it before cleaning.
In addition, dogs with poor physical fitness are prone to ear mites. You can give your dog appropriate extra meals to strengthen their physical condition. The environment where your dog lives should also be kept clean and dry to avoid being infected with ear mites again. That’s all for talking about ear mite infection in dogs. Have you learned it?
