Resilient/recurring ear mites?

Anyone ever come across ear mites that are really resilient & keep recurring?

At start of July we got a feral kitten, rescue vet cleaned & treated her ears. 10 days later when she went for her first jab they were bunged up again with debris/eR mites, Vet cleaned & treated and we had ear drops for two weeks, vet inspected ears, cleaned out debris and said all was well

Three weeks later I noticed debris,**so cleaned out her ears thought it *was just residue but earlier this week noticed her shaking and twitching her ears - more debris build up

Vets today, he cleaned out a lot of debris from both ears, put in ear drops and she got Advocate this time as well, he said she had ear mites again

One of the ears is irritating her tonight as she is shaking lt and holding it go one side and scratching it. I feel so sorry for the poor wee pet. *We have ear drops again for a week, stop a week and then insert them for another week

I've never known ear mites to be so prolific or resistant as this. *Any animal I ever had before this that had them, once treated, that was it so the question is - has anyone else come across ear mites that have been such a problem?

Would thornit help?

As above, get some "Thornit"

I would treat with Stronghold which is the approved treatment for ear mites, as well as being a spot-on. You`ll need to get it from the vet.

Ive never used Thornit, is that the powder? Can you get it online?

Vet said Advocate spoton was the best treatment which is what she got yesterday. If still resistent after a month, i will enquire about using Stronghold

Thanks folks

I've used Stronghold on Finn for ear mites and they never returned. I agree with the others about Thornit, its great for keeping the ears clean and free from mites.

Advocate is the upgraded Stronghold. Both are excellent.

Yes you can get thornit on line!

Thankyou

Right I will go have a look later online for thorn it.

Obviously have to keep on top of it, wee poppet must ha e had every free ear mite in the area she was found. Her mum must have had an awful Infestation

She objected getting her ear drops in today & ran away up the back stairs after it.

Ear mites are a nightmare to get rid of. My cats had an infestation a while ago and it took ages to get rid of them. Poor wee thing, I hope this stuff Thornit helps her.
