Ear mites are not considered a medical emergency. However, because they cause significant discomfort for dogs, they should be treated soon. Left untreated, they can lead to secondary infections or hearing loss. Dogs typically start feeling better a day or two after starting treatment. Ear mites can take up to 30 days to be fully eliminated from the dog’s ear canals. A single treatment is typically effective at getting rid of the ear mites. If the dog is still having symptoms or the ear cytology shows ear mites or infection, another round of treatment may be prescribed.

Ear mites can cause severe irritation in our feline companions. Although they are relatively easy to treat, neglecting them can lead to severe skin and ear infections. Using home remedies for ear mites in cats is not advisable because many fail to eliminate mite eggs. Consequently, even if the mites seem gone, the infestation can reoccur when the eggs hatch. If your vet diagnoses your cat with ear mites, they will prescribe an anti-parasitic medication, available in oral or topical forms. A follow-up appointment in a week or two will likely be recommended to ensure complete mite elimination and assess the need for further treatment.
