Ear mite drops for cats are topical liquid treatments containing active ingredients that kill the tiny ear mites (Otodectes cynotis) that infest the ear canal. These drops contain ingredients to kill the mites, stop their life cycle, and also provide relief from symptoms like intense itching, ear redness, and inflammation caused by the mites. They are often formulated with soothing agents like aloe or lanolin to calm the irritated skin, feature an easy-to-use dropper for precise application, and are designed to be used as directed for a specific duration, often including a follow-up treatment to ensure all mites and eggs are eliminated.
