You’re going to need a vet in this case. Not to cure the cat per say… but to get you the meds you need. Also to confirm its mites not yeast. They present the same and you need to be sure as treating for the wrong thing can make the condition worse. Some cats also just naturally have dark ear wax. It does not mean they have mites. So confirm it before you try to treat.

There are only 2 meds that I have found to work and I have tried them all, not to mention I have tried to treat naturally with every solution suggested to me over the years. I have never had Revolution work on mites either.

Sadly, and much to the cats suffering… none of them work and I have learned to just go spend the money and treat the cats/kittens asap. Also… over the counter meds and natural treatments are not as effective and must be continued daily for 6 weeks because a mites life cycle is 3 weeks and then you have to treat at least another 3 weeks for any mites that may have hatched after the initial 3 weeks treatment.

You are going to want to get Accarexx or Milbemite. Don’t bother with anything else. Links below.

Either one of these will stop your cats suffering quickly. They are an ABSOLUTE one time treatment and VERY effective. And neither requires ear cleaning before. However if the ears are really bad and filled with mite poop gunk… cleaning them can kill the mites quicker, hence stopping the suffering of the cat faster.

Please don’t hesitate in the treatment of mites. It’s painful and can cause deafness if left untreated.

Good luck! I hope you can get your kitty cured soon!
