Hideyo and Kat,
 
My vet recently told me to use olive oil rather than mineral oil.  She said it was less irritating to cats' ears.  That's the first time I've heard that, but thought I'd pass it on.

Hideyo,

It's probably is Ivermectin -
I have no experience with this and kittens.
If you're unsure, you can always just use mineral oil or olive oil.
Squirt a dropperful into each ear (in as far as possible, and then
hold the ear flap over the ear canal for a bit before they shake
it out again). The oil drowns the mites (and helps loosen up the
black "gunk" so you can clean them easier too).
