How Do I Know If My Dog Suffers From Earmites?
Earmites are a parasite that feeds on the epidermal waste of dogs and cats. If you have dogs in your home, or if you take care of dogs, you should be aware of the possibility of these critters.
Usually they are big enough to be observed by the naked eye. A magnifying glass will help you see them quite easily. You may possibly notice that your dog has been scratching at his ears often, or is behaving strangely. Your dog could develop a serious yeast infection. This can happen if he scratches, but sometimes it happens even if he doesn’t.
A brownish discharge around your dog’s ears can alert you to these dog ear mites. The discharge appears because dog ear mites stimulate the production of ear wax. So if you’re noticing a build up, it may be time to get your dog checked out.
You can tell yourself if your dog has ear mites, simply by using a cotton swab to gently remove some of the wax from your dog’s ear. Examine this wax under a magnifying glass and you can easily tell if there are mites living in your dog’s ear.
If you see that your dog has ear mites, it is very important to get him treated right away. They can make your dog’s life miserable, but more than that, they are dangerous. They can cause your dog’s ear drum to rupture. They can cause seizures, even death.
Also, be aware that they are very mobile as adults and can easily spread from one animal to another, and infest your other pets. Make sure that you check any other animals for signs of ear mites as well.
