Let me start with a bit of backstory.
When I brought my second kitten home she had ear mites and was currently being treated at the shelter I got her from. I already had a second kitten who is a month or 2 older than her and I got some Paradyne/Revolution so he wouldn't catch them while she was finishing treatment. I guess the treatment did not work and she kept the mites. A few months have passed (I brought her home in October) and I noticed my older kitten start scratching at his ears. This was probably a month or so ago at this point and it looks like he as JUST gotten them recently from her so she must have had them all this time (now that I think about it her symptoms hadn't stopped and I probably should have looked into her sooner but her behavior hadn't changed since I brought her home so I just thought that was her normal). Her original treatment was 3 doses of advantage multi 2 weeks apart. I had to administer the last dose on 10/9/18.
TLDR: Both of my kittens have ear mites because advantage multi did not work.
Previous medications given:
Coconut
-Paradyne/Revolution (1x)
Hazelnut
-Advantage Multi (3x)
I am very confident the diagnosis is still the same so what are your recommended Rx and OTC solutions for ear mites that have had the best results in the past?
I would prefer an OTC solution as my primary vet has a relatively high appointment cost (70$) and will not prescribe medications without seeing the cats. (I could possibly get them to give me more Paradyne as I got it for one cat over the phone as a preventative in the past so it would just be a refill)
