My poor lil 4 year old cat....?

Question

has ear mites. We had tried the brand Hartz for her ear mites and it just seem to make her feel sick. Any good brands you recommend to make her feel better. I can tell they are aggravating the c**p out of my baby (my cat). I would take her to the vet but I just got back to work and havent got my pay check yet to take her..

Answer 1

You'll have to wait to go to the vet.  My cat had ear mites and we got this rub-in oil stuff from the vet that seemd to work.

Answer 2

If the ear mite medicine is making your cat sick you shouldn't use it any more she could be allergic to it. Just wait to go to the vet they can help you a lot more than the people answering the yahoo questions. I also wouldn't wait too long to bring her to the vet because when my cat had ear mites her ear got really swollen and she had to get surgery, now she only has one ear. If you don't have the money i know that there is places where i live that you can pay your vet bill off slowly. I don't know if there is something like that where you live but you could probably ask around.

Answer 3

I work at a local vet clinic as tech, and the cheap brands generally don't work.  I would clean out as much gunk as possible, keep her from scratching or itching to keep it from getting infected and inflamed.  Go to the vet as soon as possible so they can clean them out properly and start her on some meds. don't put any products in the ear, just wipe out with a warm wet washcloth and some q-tips
