Tip of the month:
Ear mites, tiny spider-like creatures also known as Otodectes Cynotis, are external parasites common to both cats and dogs. This type of mite is highly contagious and can spread from pet to pet in your home through direct contact.
The ear mite lives by burrowing into the ear canal. The cat's ear will respond to this irritation by producing more wax. Since the mite feeds on wax and debris in the ear canal in order to live, this only exacerbates the problem further. Ear mites cause an intense itching and with that your cat will shake his/her head and scratch the ears incessantly; so hard in fact that the cat's ears may develop abscesses and further infection.
Ear mites occur mostly in kittens before their immune systems are strong enough to build up a resistance to mites. However cats of all ages can contract ear mites. It is very important to treat ear mites as soon as possible. If left unchecked they can cause serious problems such as secondary bacterial infections and deafness.
