Will hydrogen peroxide kill ear mites?
One of my cats has a bad case of ear mites in only one of his ears. It is really starting to bother him. I try to clean them out/get rid of them with Q-tips, but they just keep multiplying/leaving the gunk in his ears. He has some bleeding now because of the mites. Will hydrogen peroxide kill the mites and sooth his pain? I am looking for a homeopathic remedy if possible. Thanks.
I had put some vegetable oil in his ears, but obviously didn’t do it enough days to kill them off. I did buy some ear mite killer today. It is a medicated oil that is supposed to kill the mites on contact. So far, he isn’t very happy with the treatment. His ear is in a weird position, and he doesn’t look happy. I hope it is killing the mites and that he will feel better soon. I will make sure I treat him every day so that it works. I assume it will take a week. Poor, poor kitty…

I have had cats all my life and I always use plain baby oil.I put just a couple of drops in their ears and the next day I will clean just the part you can see with a Q-tip. The oil will suffocate the mites. I do this even when there are no signs of ear mites it keeps their ears clean and mite free.

hydrogen peroxide in ear cause headache and nausea?
My ear has been feeling like it has a bubble in for about a week in a half now. My chiropractor told me try putting hydrogen peroxide in it until it quits bubbling. Well as soon as I put it in I got extremely dizzy so I let it drain right out and since then I’ve had a headache and have been nauseous on and off. Is this a normal reaction to it?

Go to a REAL doctor, hun.

How long should hydrogen peroxide be left in my ear?
I went to see a doctor who suggested I have my badly clogged ear flushed. After telling the nurse the water was too cold like 10 times, I asked her what else I could do.. She said to put a drop or two hydrogen peroxide in my ear. She just didn’t say how long to leave it in there. Anyone know?
admin answers:
Ten minutes, then put a towel up to your ear and let it drain out.
