Simba - have just went to my humane society and saved a 4-month-old gray tiger kitten,
I sent him to the vet and he has been neutered and de-clawed, and had his
feline
leukemia test done (negative), his rabies test,
distemper shot, wormer and
heart-guard pills. There is one thing
though...he has ear mites.
We have a puppy, and the vet told me to keep my kitty in a
separate room for a month, while we are treating the mites with
ear drops.
Can the mites jump off from the cat into the bed or on the floor
while I am treating him? I want to make sure my home and my
puppy are safe. Thanks, Joe
Dear Joe,
Yuk. As you probably know ear mites are little parasites that
live on the surface of the skin lining in the ear canal. They are
like small microscopic ticks! The mite itself is barely visible
(a small white dot).
