How to treat ear mites in puppies

1. Treatment with medication: Once ear mites are detected in a puppy's ears, it's essential to clean the ear canal and use medication specifically designed for treating ear mites. Drugs containing compounds such as furalaner, gentamicin, and other ingredients can be used.

2. Prevention of contamination: Ear mites are highly contagious and can spread between dogs and cats through close contact. Therefore, it's necessary to isolate the infected puppy and avoid exposing them to other pets. Regular deworming and cleaning of the ear canals can prevent puppies from contracting ear mites.

3. Clinical manifestations: Puppies with ear mites may exhibit symptoms such as frequent scratching of the ears, shaking their heads, and having a foul-smelling discharge from the ears. In severe cases, ear mites can lead to hearing loss and ear hemorrhage. During treatment, it's recommended to use an Elizabethan collar to prevent the puppy from excessively scratching its ears.

4. Disinfection: After confirming the diagnosis of ear mites in a puppy, it's essential to isolate the puppy and disinfect their living environment and belongings. Maintaining a dry living environment can help prevent the spread of ear mites.
