Dog Ear Mites
|
Dog ear mites are tiny parasitic arachnids that cause real annoyance for your dog. They dig
themselves into the tender flesh in your dog's ear and feast on the capillaries they find there.
They cause your dog's skin to be inflamed, irritated and very tender.
This can cause a build up of wax as the ear canal narrows, which in turn can cause blockages and
infections.

If you see your dog scratching at his ears a lot or shaking his head around, then the chances are that he could
have ear trouble. If his ears smell bad then this is also a symptom. Dog ear mites are the likely culprit. Dogs
usually pick up these ear mites from other animals.
Hygiene is very important in keeping dog ear mites off your pet. Make sure that he is groomed regularly and
bathed every couple of months. Clean the outer part of his ears regularly too. Especially if he is a long eared
dog. Keep his bedding clean and disinfected periodically.
If you have more than one pet in your house then make sure that you check all your animals for ear mites because
the parasites may have spread from one to the others.
As ever, healthy dogs are less likely to suffer from complaints like ear mites. Keep him well fed and well
exercised and he'll be in a better position to fight off these parasites himself.
