Shooting head Posted March 8, 2004 Report Share Posted March 8, 2004 Anybody know of a good cure/prevention for ear mites my lab has had them 3 times in the last year, so far it has cost me £ 120 in vets bills without a lot of success.

rjimmer Posted March 8, 2004 Report Share Posted March 8, 2004 Get some stuff called Ottodex if it's all that black gunje that you're on about. One of my bitches had very small ears and they used to get bunged up with like dry dirt. It's the leftovers of the mites. A few drops a day for about a week and it loosens up and they shake it out. These new chemical flee controllers like Program should kill the mites, I would think. A swim in seawater once a week works wonders for dogs' coats.

new to the flock Posted March 9, 2004 Report Share Posted March 9, 2004 SH: You have a product available in England called Thornit Ear Powder, that is suppose to be one of the best for ear mites. Give it a try and let me know how well it works, as I have a lab at work that has cronnic ear mite problems.

Quercus Posted March 14, 2004 Report Share Posted March 14, 2004 NTTF, a friend keeps Weimaraners which were plagued with ear mites, she tried everything she could lay her hands on over a number of years until she dicovered the powder you speak of. It worked so well, she considers it to be some kind of miracle cure. Ottodex ear drops are available from pet shops for a couple of quid.
