I believe that many animal raising friends have experienced the fact that dogs have ear mites. Don’t worry, here are a few ways to easily prevent dog ear mites!
First, let's take a look at what common symptoms will a dog develop after ear mites?
Always shake your head
Do your dog like to shake your head at home? In fact, if your dog unfortunately grows ear mites in its ears, they will feel that their ears are itchy, so they can't help scratching their ears with their claws. Sometimes I even use my head to hit the wall, because my ears are so itchy!
Black and brown dirt flow out from my ears
When a dog is infected with ear mites, some dirt that is difficult to remove often gathers inside the ears. These dirt usually appear dark-brown and emits an uncomfortable odor. If you find this happening to your dog, it is likely that they have ear mites.
Hearing begins to decline
The dog's ears accumulate too much ear mites, just like a healthy ear is blocked, causing hearing to gradually decrease. If you find that your dog sometimes doesn't understand you recently, it may be that they are troubled by ear mites. Inflammation inside the ears is inevitable for dogs whose ears look red and swollen, and whose ears appear to be affected by ear mites. At this time, you may see that your dog's ears become extremely red and swollen. It can be seen that dogs need to pay more attention when they have redness and swelling ears.
In order to prevent dogs from being infected with ear mites, we can take some effective preventive measures:
Regular cleaning of pet ears
Timely cleaning and care of pet ears is the key to preventing dog ear mites. You can use ear scrub specially designed for dogs and then gently wipe the puppy's ears with a soft cotton ball to help clean and remove dirt and dead skin, so as to keep the ear canal clean and refreshing.
Of course, if you are worried that your dog will feel uncomfortable, you might as well try to prepare some snacks during the cleaning process to attract their attention, so that they will respond more friendly to them, and they will be more willing to cooperate with you~
Keep the pet living environment clean and hygienic
In addition to cleaning the ears of puppies regularly, it is equally important to maintain their living environment. Regularly organize pet living spaces such as beds, tableware and toys to keep them dry and tidy. In addition, we should also regularly groom pets' hair, especially focusing on the location around the ears to reduce the growth of dirt and bacteria.
Improving pet autoimmunity
Reducing pet autoimmunity is also one of the causes of ear mites infection. You should provide your pet with nutritious and balanced food, and at the same time supplement the necessary vitamins and minerals in moderation, thereby improving the pet's resistance and better resisting the invasion of ear mites.
