Ralphy Has Ear Mites

"Mommy!" my four-year-old squealed with delight, "Ralphy shakes his head to answer when I ask him questions!"

Unfortunately, our poor dog had bigger problems than being asked hundreds of questions by my preschooler. He had ear mites. In case you don't know, ear mites are a parasite. Yuck! They can live on your dog's or cat's fur, and they can cause him or her a lot of discomfort. They itch, they can cause infection, and they can even lead to your pet going deaf!

At first, we didn't know what was wrong with good old Ralphy. He just kept shaking his head. We took him to the vet, and she figured it out in no time. She said that we needed to treat him to get rid of the ear mites, and that they are contagious. Not good news for our other dog!

I looked online and found information that said flea treatments would cure the problem, but they didn't. We had to purchase special ear mite medicine - Ivermectin. We found some online and it wasn't very expensive or difficult to use. We found the liquid Ivermectin dosage right on the box.

Ralphy is much happier, but my little girl is a bit put off that he no longer answers her questions!
