Dog Eye Care

Earmites are a parasite that feeds on the epidermal waste of dogs and cats. Do you have dogs in your home, or do you take care of dogs for others? Then you should be aware of the signs of these pests.

Most of the time they are large enough to be seen with the unaided eye. You could see them easily with a magnifying glass. You may notice that your dog is scratching his ears a lot, or acting different. If your dog is scratching--and occasionally even if he isn't--he could soon suffer from a nasty yeast infection.

When a dog has ear mites, you may notice a brownish discharge around his ears. Mites stimulate the production of ear wax in your dog's ear, so if you notice a lot of build up, you may want to check things 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.

It is very important to get your dog treated right away if he has ear mites. Besides the fact that they can really make your dog positively miserable, they are very dangerous and can cause your dog's ear drum to rupture and cause seizures and 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. Be sure that you inspect your other animals for the signs of ear mites too.
