About a week ago i had my kitty treated for ear mites. they used revolution. which they applied.

Question

i was wondering if anyone has used this for ear mite treatment before and how long it takes to work. and if i need to clean his ears after wards?

Answer 1

Your vet should have also swabbed the ears out to get the parasites that were near the outside.  If they didn't, you can do this with Q-Tips, just don't put the swab down the ear canal.  When your done, wipe the ear out and dry it.

If the revolution doesn't work (it may take a few days to kill the parasite,) take it back to the vet and they can apply drops directly into the ears.  

Answer 2

I say it worked for us, and yes keep ears clean and DRY

Answer 3

I did the same thing last week !!!...

The kittens were so bad they needed an ear wash though after that they applied the revolution.  The vet told me to continue cleaning out the ears with q tips as it takes a while for the debris to surface in the ear canal.  

He also told me that the revolution would kill the mites as they are live.
