Ear Mites affect both dogs and cats, and Zymox Drops is designed specially to treat this condition.

Behavioral changes will give your the clues that your are dealing with an ear mite infection.

If your pet starts shaking his head violently or won’t stop scratching at his ears, even to the point where he is crying out because it is painful, you are probably dealing with ear mites.

So what are the culprits to these unpleasant symptoms? The ear mite is a tiny parasite that lives in the lining of the ear canal.

The ear swells and becomes painful as they bite through the skin to get at the blood supply.

Yeast and bacterial infections are in store for your pet if you don’t take action against an ear mite problem.

And if that doesn’t scare you, maybe the fact your pet will lose his hearing and will need a costly operation will.

One ear mite infection will lead to another if you have multiple pets, as they transfer from one host to another.

Remember this if your pet is in contact with others, for example at playtime, in a kennel or if there are multiple pets in your family.

So if you have more than one animal it is wise to treat them all as if they had an ear mite infection.

All cats and dogs can get an ear mite infection, but dogs with long floppy ears such as spaniels as more prone as they offer a greater number of hiding places for the mites.

Luckily there are treatments to help get rid and prevent ear mite infections. PNP Healthy Ears Ear Cleanser for Dogs is made from a range of mild and gentle components that softly rid the ear of dirt and wax and other discharge from the ear.
