One of the biggest causes of treatment failure is not removing the exudate BEFORE applying the medication. Every bit of the black, crusty exudate must be removed from the ear canal before any medication will work. This is best accomplished by gently flushing the ear canal using an ear bulb (available from drug stores). Mix up a solution of warm water and liquid dishwashing detergent (just enough detergent to slightly color the water) and fill the ear bulb. The tip of the bulb is held loosely in the ear and the water/soap solution is gently squeezed in allowing it to bubble out carrying the debris (Never block the free passage of the solution out of the ear or you could rupture the ear drum). This process is repeated three or four times until the ears are clean. The ears are then rinsed with warm, clear water and dried. Q-tips are not recommended because they carry the dirtiest contamination deeper into the canal making the infection worse. If you do not feel comfortable cleaning the ear, you should consult your veterinarian.

Ear mite medications commonly contain a pyrethrin insecticide and vehicle such as mineral oil. These medications can be purchased across-the-counter from many pet stores or veterinary hospitals.

Since ear mites are easily passed from one pet to another by close contact, ALL animals in the household must be treated at the same time to ensure success.

Only a good flea treatment will help with the fleas, such as Frontline.

If you have mites, you need to remove the crust of exudate BEFORE any treatments with medicine. If you do this, then you should be fine.

OK, sorry I have no proof that she is not a vet. But a 21 year old vet, that is highly unlikely. But, sorry kittycat471697 and Catluvergirl please don't post in all caps.

Please, guys, stop all of this. Remember...guilty until proven innocent, yet innocent until proven guilty. No matter what is the truth, you people need to stop what you are doing.
