Ear mites

AffectedAnimals:
All animals, including humans, can get mites.

Overview:
Highly contagious, ear mites are a common cause of many ear problems in cats and, less commonly, in dogs. Ear mites are found in cats of all ages, but kittens tend to be infected more commonly. These mites can cause intense itching.  Severe trauma to the infected area may result when cats scratch the irritated skin.

Often, but not always, a dark, granular substance will be present in the ear canal of a cat with ear mites, and signs of irritation and itchiness will be evident.  Diagnosis can be achieved through visual identification of the mites under a microscope from debris or skin scrapings.  The prognosis for ear mites is excellent with proper treatment, which generally involves topical application of a miticide to the affected areas.
