Let me start by saying I love my cats, but unfortunantly Im for the first time in a situation where I cannot afford to see a vet...
Anyway... I just moved into this hole in the wall apartment that a friend owns and just recently in the past week I noticed all 3 of my cats shaking their heads and scratching and one of them had a blackish substance in her ears... so of course the first thing I suspected was ear mites. I found a place online to order Revolution 3 pack and gave it to them this past Sunday around noon...
So its been 3 days now and I still see them scratching and shaking their heads... should the Revolution have killed the mites by now or does it take longer? Should I give them another dose at some point before the 1 month is up? Im lost, confused and upset.
Also... one of my cats lately has got really bad dandruff and her hair has begun to mat in areas and has lost its shine. Been brushing her a couple time a day and started adding some olive oil to her food a few times a week hoping to clear up the problem, but wondered if there is anything else I can do to help her? I don't have the money to get good food and right now all 3 eat Meow Mix.
