So my little Kaylee has been suffering from ear mites. She went to the vet a few months ago, who put some mineral oil in her ears and cleaned them up. After that, she gave me two doses of Advantage Multi and told me to buy that instead of the Advantage Plus I have them on.
I think it got a little better with the Advantage Multi, but for this month, I've had her on the regular Advantage Plus and still have one dosage left for her next month. This stuff is WAY too expensive to stop using, so it's not an option. The Advantage Multi is also outrageously priced, especially for two cats, so I'm really hoping there are some things I can buy or home remedies to help her with her ears?
My vet used the mineral oil, but all I currently have is vegetable oil, olive oil, and neem oil. Would any of these work? If not, can I get mineral oil anywhere? Can I use regular Q-tips or should I get a special kind? Are there maybe over the counter ear drops or washes that have good result?
She really started shaking her head and scratching at her ears a lot last night, so I don't want her to be uncomfortable. They are a bit brown and gucky inside there, so I really want to clean them up.
Khaleesi doesn't seem to be effected as much, although I know they're contagious..
