Mineral Oil kills all mites in cats ears, so you shouldn't have to use the mite meds from Wallmart. Just add a small dropper full of oil in ears everyday until mites are gone.Replied By Sylk (Cincinnati, Ohio) on 02/29/2012
Just wanted to comment: Be careful when treating your cat's ears. One of mine developed an aural hematoma, requiring draining and stitching. This may have been caused by rough handling of the ear, or too much scratching and shaking on his part. Gentle treatment only, please.Replied By Robin (Clovis, California) on 01/27/2016
The hematomas happen from shaking their heads, I've had two dogs who had to have surgery for this problem.
