🚨 EAR MITES: an uninvited & uncomfortable houseguest These microscopic parasites take up residence in the ear canal and can make your pet miserable.🐾 Signs to watch for:- Constant ear scratching- Frequent head shaking- Dark, crumbly debris that looks like coffee grounds- Red or irritated ears- Sensitivity or pain- Scabs from excessive scratchingAnd here's the important part: Ear mites are contagious. 🦠 If one pet has them, other cats and dogs in the household may need treatment too.💊 The good news? They're treatable!But don't assume every dirty ear means ear mites. Ear infections, allergies, yeast, bacteria, and other conditions can cause similar symptoms. Ear mites can also lead to secondary infections. A veterinarian can determine what's actually going on and recommend the right treatment. Sometimes you can even visibly see these little parasites moving around with the naked eye or under a magnifying glass! 🐱 Rescue reminder: Ear mites are common in animals coming into rescue, especially kittens and outdoor/community cats. Treating them helps these animals get comfortable, healthy, and ready for their next chapter.So if your pet is scratching, shaking, and acting like their ears have personally offended them…CHECK THOSE EARS. 👀Tiny parasite. Big itch. Don't ignore it! ...
