I was wondering if anyone has been unfortunate enough to have this problem? I bought a beautiful kitten in early september, a female for breeding, and a few days later I found that her ears were rather dirty with a build-up of dark wax. I took her to the vets and they said there were a few ear mites in her ears. I was given some drops (Canaural) and some special cleaner. Two weeks later, they were slightly better, so I got some more ear drops. Still no joy.... On a second visit to the vets I was given some stronger ear drops and some small poppettes of oil to treat my queen and the two others. I'm not sure if this is working yet as it was only a few days ago. I feel rather upset about it all as I have to keep messing with the kittens ears (which she is now used to) but does not like at all, it hasnt cleared up, plus the 6 weeks breeders insurance is now over, so Im paying the cost of it all.
Is ear mites a difficult thing to get rid of? The vets told me it is very common in kittens. What also concerns me is that it could lead to other problems or affect her hearing.
I could blame the breeder for selling her with it
but at the moment my focus is on her.
Comments welcome.
