I have already written about how we are treated for and. And today we’ll talk about such a painful disease for animals as ear mite(Otodectos).
Unfortunately, it is not so much stray animals that suffer from this disease as domestic ones. Because these mites live in any home. In carpets, pillows, blankets, etc.
These ticks are not scary for humans, but they drive animals crazy. They become nervous and constantly scratch their ears and shake their heads. The head is tilted towards the affected ear. If you look inside the ears, you can see that they are clogged with dark brown sticky dirt. This is a product of the processing of ear mites.
Animals with wet ears are more likely to suffer. Mites do not like to live in dry ears. If this disease is not treated, then inflammation of the ears develops - otitis media. Treating this disease is also not easy, and not treating it is dangerous for the animal’s life.
Ear mite remedy
For us it all started with a dog.
Our dog is kind, but has a temper, and we have never been able to accustom him to a muzzle. They gave it to us, already at three or four one month old. Apparently, no one was involved in his upbringing, so he grew up as a real uncontrollable blockhead.
Veterinarians advised him to put special drops in his ears against inflammation. This was the last thing we could do with our dog. He was in so much pain that he even wet himself. He didn’t even allow us to get close to him anymore.
When it became completely unbearable for him, we called a veterinarian to the house, because he flatly refused to go to the veterinary hospital. When we dragged him there for the first time, we couldn’t cope with him, and he destroyed all the cabinets and bottles there, until the three of us managed to overwhelm him and give him anesthesia.
He is so nimble that no one could throw a noose over his face. And although he never bites, he still bit my hand out of fear. Unfortunately, the treatment of his ears gave almost nothing, because he no longer allowed them to be instilled, and a one-time procedure is useless.
Once every three months we called a doctor to the house, gave Rick anesthesia, and cleaned his ears. For seven whole months I slowly tried to accustom him to at least allowing him to examine his ears. Sometimes I just wanted to shoot him. My nerves couldn't stand it. But it was impossible to yell at him, much less hit him, otherwise everything would have gone down the drain.
But most of all, I was haunted by the thought that as soon as I put drops in his ears, he would never let me near him again. No matter what I tried, as soon as the dog allowed me to at least stroke my ears. Naturally, I first tried all the remedies on myself, and when I knew for sure that it was painless, I tried it on Rick.
I started with a simple baby cream so that he would understand that the ointment doesn’t hurt. At first I couldn’t even apply cream. He hid or snapped. But I was still able to convince him that it didn’t hurt. And fate still took pity on us.
A friend recommended me a new remedy for ear mites. She said it was inexpensive, painless, and very effective. For me, the main word was PAINLESS.
I bought this product called Amidel-gel, and not even hoping for positive result, treated all cats and dogs ears with it. At first everyone hid, but when they saw that the first cat didn’t even “croak” in pain, they began to approach him with curiosity and sniff him.
To begin with, I specifically tested the ear mite remedy on the most flexible cat. In half an hour I managed to treat everyone, and even the dog.
The gel smells very nice and is easy to apply. I simply took it on my finger and smeared it deep into each ear of my pets. But before that I had to tinker and clean everyone’s ears of dirt.
When a few days later we saw that no one was scratching their ears or shaking their heads anymore, we simply couldn’t believe it.
Amidel-gel– this is a truly unique remedy for ear mites! If I had not tried this remedy myself, I would never have believed in such a miracle.
It’s been a year now that we don’t even remember this disease. I will repeat this procedure soon as a preventive measure.
So, if your cats suffer from ear mites, then treat them only with this remedy. With us it costs only 150 rubles. The ointment is already in a special dispenser in the form of a syringe. Smells good and easy to apply. It is enough to coat the ears once. If you have one animal, then it is better to carry out this procedure together with someone. One syringe is enough for 10-12 animals.
I wish you to get rid of ear mites forever!
P.S. Now a new remedy for ear mites has appeared - “Amidel-gel neo”. This medicine even has a slightly different composition, although it smells just as nice. We have already tried it. It is stronger than the old one, and some of our cats reacted to it with redness and severe shaking of the ears. But within a day everything went away even without the use of suprastin.
If you have few animals, then it is better to use ““ ear drops, but if there are many of them, then treatment with “Amidel-gel” is the best solution.
