It sounds like your cat was injured. Is/Was he an indoor/outdoor kitty? Could he have been in a cat fight? Did you take him to the vet? 10 months later, is your cat okay? His ears?
I used coconut in a syringe. But I used too much and my cat shook her ears very hard. It took care of the mites and her ears were very clean. However she had a lot of oil on her fur and during the initial hard ear shaking she got a huge hematoma in her ear. Had to take her to the emergency animal clinic on labor day and it cost me $1200. Included a blood test. Now her beautiful ear is bent. Our get offered to do reconstructive surgery. This is insane!!!!
I am so sorry to hear that!! Coconut oil is excellent for cleaning cats ears BUT it is important never get it down the ear canal. Instead of a syringe, use a cotton swab/ball to apply and clean the ears.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS GREAT ADVICE!!! My wife has 7 cats of varying ages. Her smallish Long Haired Persian Type Cat seems to get ear mites often. This is great news for us!
Thank you for valuable information. Though it’s not easy figuring out how to apply those when explained by words., would you make videos on how to do the remedies visually on cats?
@@abc33155 If you go back & listen to the video again, you'll hear her say that you can use ACV & water in a spray bottle on their fur & skin. (That's what she was hinting at). You didn't spray it in your cat's ears, did YOU? 😱 With a little research on the web, you'll find that you can use ACV (preferably organic... Bragg) in their water & it works through their skin, on both cats & dogs.
@@PnkLuna-po8te Nope, only it is off-limits for cats with kidney disease. It's too acidic for them. You never want to use it undiluted. Just as if you were using hydrogen peroxide for anything, you never want to use it undiluted either. Here are some other benefits of ACV for cats: •• Remedy for urinary tract disease •• Acts as a laxative •• Treats respiratory infections •• Helps with allergies and asthma •• Treats fleas and skin infections
Wow , Thank you so much for sharing this video with us. I’m have two kittens that the owner can no longer keep and I took them in and they have ears mites and this information is very important. I also have dogs and I let them play with each other I didn’t new that the kittens have ear mites until one of them was crying and Shaking they ears so I looked in size and so much Suff in they ears, cause the owner said the cats never outside so I thought ok they clean cats and they looked healthy. So now I’m going to treat the kittens ears and the dogs also just in case.
So glad you helped those kittens. For future reference, I always keep my foster babies or any new animal seperate room, until i can take them to the vet and make sure they don't have any contagious illness. That way your pets don't run the risk of getting sick .
It's important not to go in too deep in the ear, so that may be a danger when using q-tips. If you don't feel confident with q-tips, cotton balls are another very safe and easy option.
Hi thank you for the tips ❤ I’m about to do the garlic and olive oil, but I was wondering, do I keep the cloves whole or crush them. Thank you. I also have apple cider vinegar and water of course, could I do both? Thank you x
Keep the garlic whole or cut in chunks, so the oil will get the medicinal properties of the garlic without getting the actual garlic on your pet's skin. And yes you can for sure do both, just maybe not at the same time.
Thank you so much. I have a couple of barn cats and two spoiled indoor-outdoor cats that from time to time suffer from ear mites. I love these guys and galls the barn cats hate being inside except to say hello and maybe get a special treat like a taste of fresh trout. 😊
What about 7-8 week old kitten. She is feral i cleaned her ears but inside deep down still alot too clean. Any suggestions? I do have acv, cocunut and olive oil.
Thank you for your comment! It can take time to see more significant change further into the ear as it is harder to reach and clean. What I like to do is warm up (not too hot, just warm enough to be liquid) some coconut oil and add a few drops to the ear and massage it in. It helps soften the build up and will also help kill any bacteria or critters that may be in there. Do this for a few days, you should start seeing the debris clear.
Some of the recommended ingredients could help, but if there is already an infection of yeast, you may want to watch my other video on cat ear infection treatments: ruclips.net/video/ojgFv5DrzWo/видео.html. I hope this helps!
You can clean with the vinegar to kill bacteria and the mites, as for the baby oil, you can for sure use it to sooth the ear after cleaning if you like.
How do you get your cats to hold still? They turn their head so much i can’t even hardly shine a light to look, much less clean out their ears with swabs and apply medicine (honey, aloe, or spray).
@@ezwiththehardware yes, wear chainmail! Lol... For some reason, I'm very lucky when it comes to giving cats a bath, but there have been a few episodes over the years... The best method I've come up with, is to used the kitchen sink, or maybe a plastic container for you. Fill about 1/3 up with warm water. Talk continuously to your kitty, and try to keep it calm. Wet it down with a sprayer, warm water, use Dawn dishwashing liquid... Lots of soap, and rinse very well when finished. Be sure to get between the toes! It's almost impossible to help with just words typed, there's so much I could add... All I can say is, good luck!
You do not need to wash off the DE after 24 hours. The powder works by dehydrating and killing the mites, and leaving it in the ear allows it to continue its action. Apply the DE once every three days.
I use cotton ball to clean my cat ears with coconut oil or olive oil but I noticed tha even I do it gently the cotton shows some blood 😢😢and I am worried about that. Clean the brown wax stuff but I am hesitating to do the cleaning twice a day . Also I start giving him collaidal silver in a droper in the mouth. But he is not even meawing or asking for treats 😢
I am so sorry to hear this!! It is more likely that infection has set into the ear so, I would recommend a quick visit to the vet to see what is going on. Please feel free to contact our support team at Zumalka as well. We will be happy to help!!!
No these are different issues however, some of the mentioned home remedies can still be helpful as the natural ingredients can be effective antifungals as well.
Thank you for your comment!! IF there is itchy ears and swelling of the eyes, you cat may be having some sort of allergic reaction, or if there is infection, it may be spreading to the eyes as well. Best to have her looked at to be sure. I hope your cat feels better soon!
Hii I have a question how do you clane the cats ears using coconut oil I have organic extra virgin coconut oil is that good to use for my cat I need help step by step I also have organic honey
You can warm the oil so that it is liquid and then put a few drops in you cats ears. You can then clean gently using a cotton ball to get the excess dirt and wax out of the outter ear (do not go in too far). Then you can massage your cats ears to get the oil to spread throughout the ear (your cat will like this). Then leave it and start again the next day as needed.
Sorry, so late on my reply. My cat is a American curl and has very hard ears it's hard to look to see if they have cleared all the way up I have noticed improvement in the scratching of the ears. I will continue until I no longer see her scratching.
I tough garlic is poison for Cats and my cat male I am trying to put apple cider and he licks all day long waooo ! He didn't like coconut oil I don't know what to do?
Thank you for your comment!! For sure it is not recommended to give garlic or onions for your dog or cat to eat.

I have a question and concern, hopefully someone can help me with. I have 2 stray kittens around 8 weeks old. One has so much infection coming out of it's little eyes and nose! So bad that it could only breathe through it's little mouth! And at first it couldn't see at all, because of the dried, thick infection covering it's eyes! 😔💔 I've started it on Amoxicillin and benadryl. And I can already see improvements after just 3 days! Also, someone told me that baby oil is good to "smother out" ear mites, and kill them. I've used it twice now, since last night. But my question and concern is, .. Is baby oil safe to use for kittens with ear mites? I've not really found much information about it. If it's not safe to use in their ears, do I need to remove it somehow? I'm going to start using one of the suggested home remedies from this video. But I'm now concerned about the baby oil I've used. 😔 This video is more valuable than I can express!! Thank you so much for all this valuable information!!
Thank you for your comment and I am so sorry to hear about these poor little kittens. They are fortunate to have a caring person like you take care of them! I personally have never used baby oil for my cats ears, instead I would recommend coconut oil. It has more medicinal properties and for sure is safe for cats ears and even safe if they lick it. If ever you need more natural products to help these little kitties recover, be sure to reach out to us at support@zumalka.com. Our team of specialists will be happy to guide you along the way.
@@الياسيس-ط6ج I read an article from a vet on the internet and they said it was good to use but to get the unscented. He said to use it for 7 to 10 days and wait to see if it has cleared up and if not you can use it again. He said it's perfectly safe.
Tea tree oil is tricky as only 7-8 drops of 100% tea tree oil can be fatal to cats and dogs. I would steer clear of this option unless it is professionally mixed at a % that is safe to use on their skin.
Hard pass on your advice. Garlic is considered to be about five times as toxic as onions for cats and dogs. Onions, garlic, chives, and leeks are in the Allium family, and are poisonous to both dogs and cats. ingesting garlic may result in the destruction of a cat's red blood cells, a deadly condition known as hemolytic anemia. In severe cases, even a small amount of garlic (approximately one clove or 1/8 teaspoon of garlic powder) can lead to organ damage, organ failure, or death in a cat.
Thank you for your comment!! For sure it is not recommended to give garlic or onions for your dog or cat to eat. In this video, the garlic properties to fight bacteria and inflammation are transmitted in the olive oil (garlic is soaked in the olive oil.

That is very true, however, the treatment in question I talk about is not to give garlic to your cat to eat but to use it in a treatment form where you get the benefits of the garlic without it being ingested or detrimental to your beloved cat. It is very safe to use in the way I indicate in the video.

Is he still fine?
I wouldn't spray water in a pet's ear? Could cause a blockage, just like when we get water in our ears?
Omg thanks for the spray idea! I can't wait to use this. My cat has scabs and brown discharge coming out his ears 😢
I didn't want to use the swabs and cotton pads because his ears right now are sensitive and he moves when I touch him.

You can clean with the vinegar to kill bacteria and the mites, as for the baby oil, you can for sure use it to sooth the ear after cleaning if you like.
What if i put a tiny bit of neem powder in some warm coconut oil?
Neem powder is great in calming and soothing minor skin irritation and rashes, so yes you can for sure try that for your cat's ears.
How about using iodine on Q-tip to clean the ear ?
I would not recommend it. First, it is a disinfectant, not a mitacide. Second, it can be toxic to the ear and cause permanent deafness.
How do you get your cats to hold still? They turn their head so much i can’t even hardly shine a light to look, much less clean out their ears with swabs and apply medicine (honey, aloe, or spray).
I had the same problem. Wrap your cat in a blanket to the neck area and hold him/her in your lap. Makes it so easy to put in drops or shine a light.

I have several stray cats outside that i feed. What is the option for those cats? I cant pick them up since they are not tame.
That is for sure more tricky. Sadly I don't have any home tips that do not require at least some kind of contact with the cat.
I bought a bottle of Pet Armor mite treatment drops because the price dropped to $1.50 a bottle. I used this for a few weeks and it greatly reduced the mites. My cat would shake his head and clumps would come flying out. But it wasn’t getting 100% of the “ coffee grounds” out. Q tips didn’t help much. So I put my cat in the shower (with a glass door closure and a hand sprayer). I gave him a shower with warm water and baby shampoo. I kept spraying in his ears. It was a gentle water pressure and he kept shaking his head and crying but after I turned off the water, there was no signs of mites. His ears were super clean and a cute pink inside. I towel dried him and let him lay in the sun to groom himself. He looks so clean and happy! I will keep giving him the drops to help prevent more mites.
I hope your kitty is a happy kitty with no more ear mites! 🐾🐾👍
That is great news, I am happy the product worked for you. It's a product that includes Pyrethrins, very good for mites!
