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

If you watch your cat or dog and notice some changes in behavior it could be that your pet has ear mite problems.

Symptoms of an ear mite infestation include shaking of the head vigorously, repeated scratching of the ears, some brown colored discharge, possibly some malodor and apparent pain when the ears are touched.

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.

They penetrate the skin to feed on the blood supply, resulting in swelling and pain for your pet.

Left undetected or untreated you are probably looking at more problems, with opportunistic yeast infections, bacterial strains, sores and painful scabs to contend with.

In the worst case scenario, an untreated ear mite problem may result in loss of hearing.

Ear mites are like fleas – they will easily find another host if one is available.

This is especially bad news as an ear mite infection in one animal in a kennel or cattery can spread like wildfire throughout the whole community.

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

Spaniels are particularly susceptible with their long ears and abundant hair, as are any dogs with similar ears, but every dog and cat can get ear mites.
