Hi

I am looking for Barrs drops to eradicate ear mites in cats...

I have been everywhere up this end of town and can't find them.

Would appreciate if you are passing a pet shop you ask them if they have them in stock.


Love and thanks Snowy xxx

Not really an expert on this, but when we took two street cats in they were covered with the mites, and I took them to the vet in Rd 199. Had to go back maybe three times, but he sorted that out for us, dont know what he used. Whatever it was, I am sure they have it if you want to buy and do yourself.

Sorry, i was not clear. I meant ear mites. The vet took those extra long larger ear buds, put this muti on and cleaned there ears out. They (the cats) did not like it one bit, but had there nails cut before this exercise!

You can use olive oil for ear mites....just drop some in then massage the ears....repeat for a few days.The oil suffocates the mites.

You guys have such nice friendly cats! I could do that I suppose, but afterwards might need a blood transfusion from all the scratches.
