An important pet health care fact. Don't just go to the pet store to get "ear mite" medicine when your dog or cat's ears are red, itchy or waxy. Other than cats and occasionally dogs in contact with untreated ear mite house mates or feral cats and dogs, ear mites are only one of many causes of infected or irritated ears. Go to your veterinarian to have those ears examined and properly treated. Then if necessary you can get going on an ear cleaning regimen if necessary at the suggestion of your veterinarian.

The more knowledgeable you are, the better able you will be to be active in the pet preventative health care plan for your dog or cat. Always remember that seeking online veterinary advice is never a substitute for a physical exam and minimum data base medical work up by your veterinarian. Be wary of sites that promise definitive (final) diagnosis and treatment regimens; real ethical veterinarians would not give a definitive diagnosis, direct or prescribe treatment without having seen your pet in person. It should always be information to discuss with your primary care veterinarian.
