Ear mite: how dangerous is it?

The arthropod has a whitish color and a pincer-like mouth, which allows it to pierce the skin with ease.

As its name implies, the ear mite parasitizes inside the animal's auricle, as the environment there is ideal for it – warm and humid. The ectoparasite feeds on skin scales, lymph, blood and tissue fluid, resulting in severe damage to the ear canal.

The cat actively scratches its ears. This causes damage to the skin and capillaries. As a result, wounds, abrasions, hematomas form. Secondary infections often join, and the tissues of the auricle begin to pus, redden and swell. The discharge from the ear canal has an unpleasant smell. It is necessary to begin treatment urgently, otherwise the four-legged dog may deteriorate hearing (up to complete loss). Sometimes the most dangerous complication is the inflammation of the brain membrane.

Ways of infection

Contact with an infected animal

If your pet goes outdoors, the risk of infection increases many times over, especially if it comes into contact with cats that are almost constantly outdoors. The risk increases when walking through tall grass, basements, and attics.

From the outside environment.

Even if a cat is always in the apartment, that doesn't mean it can't get otodecosis. An ear mite can be brought into the house by the owner – on clothes, shoes, bag. It is quite possible, because we often pass by places of accumulation of four-legged animals that do not have a permanent habitat.

Use of household items of an infected pet

Sometimes it happens that there are several pets living in the house, for example, a cat and a dog. If a pooch is diagnosed with an ear mite, and you have isolated them from each other for the duration of treatment, this does not mean that infection can be avoided. The ectoparasite can be in the personal belongings of the host animal – on the bed, the surface of the bowl, as well as on furniture and carpets.

Kittens get infected from their mother

Just a few hours after birth, kittens can catch demodex from their mother. The ear mite is especially dangerous for them.

Important: Outside of the carrier animal, the ectoparasite can live for 1 to 2 months.

Danger of the ear mite for cats

The mite itself is not dangerous for cats and delivers discomfort in the form of itching. The greatest danger comes from infections that join the disease in the process. The scratching causes bacterial, viral or fungal inflammation in the ears, which leads to hearing loss, pain, and rupture of the eardrum. The infection moves deeper into the ear, reaches brain tissue, and leads to death from meningitis. Deafness and death of the pet ends in 10% of cases.

Ear mite prevention

In order not to treat ear mite in cats, it is important to carry out prevention in time – to treat the pet with drops against external and internal parasites. There are also other forms of preparations – collars and sprays.

Depending on the formulation, treatment should be done monthly or quarterly. Prophylaxis is important for cats regardless of whether they go out for a walk, as parasite eggs can easily be carried on shoes.

Most often used for treatment drops: "Selafort", "Bravecto", "Frontline", "Inspector", "Advocaat", "Bars", "Dana". Drugs vary in price and duration of action – from a month to a quarter.

Disadvantages of drops: you need to look for a suitable drug – not all cat drops are tolerated equally well, itching or anxiety may appear: the pet may not like the smell of the drug. In such cases, choose means of prolonged action: drops "Selafort" or "Bravecto". This allows you not to bother your four-legged friend every month, but once every three months.

A collar may protect your cat from parasites for up to 240 days. The duration of protection is balanced by the disadvantages: not all cats are disposed to wear such an accessory. It can cause allergies and is especially not recommended for pets that are out on their own. If the pet gets caught on an obstacle, the gadget will cause strangulation.

It is important to treat both male and female cats before mating: most ear mite prevention and treatment products are not used for kittens until eight weeks of age.

During the treatment of the ears of an infected cat, the following rules of prevention should be observed:

1. During the application of ear drops, it is forbidden to smoke, eat or drink.
2. After the application of the product it is necessary to wash hands with soap and water.
3. Do not pet the animal for 2-3 days after applying the solution.
4. If the drops get on mucous membranes or skin, they should be rinsed with plenty of water.
5. Allergic persons should not come into contact with the drug.

If symptoms of allergy appear in a person, you need to consult a doctor. You need to take the instructions for the drug with you.
