RE: OT ear mite treatment

[Hideyo Yamamoto]

Nina, I have a whole box of Acarexx if you need it -  my vet gave me a whole box at their cost – so if you need it, let me know.   My vet says that it should be fine to use on kittens and directions says so, too – but you know me,, I am just paranoid and don’t really trust everything I hear from my vets when coming to side effects on drugs (from my experience, they are way too optimistic.)   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Nina Sent: Thursday, January 05, 2006 7:03 PM To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Subject: Re: OT ear mite treatment   Hi Hideyo, I've only used Acarexx on grown kitties.  I wish I could buy the stuff over the counter, it works just great with one application and I've never seen any side effects.  I've never used it on kittens though.  If I were you, I'd dilute it with some olive oil, (I've heard that mineral oil is not as good an option).  If the nasty little buggers persist after a day, or so, you could dose again.  What does your vet say?
