Mite Drops (for cats)

1/2 ounce almond oil
400 international units vitamin E

Mix in a dropper bottle. Put a dropperful or two in each ear and massage the ear well once a day for three days. Let your pet shake its head and then clean out the opening with cotton swabs. This mixture smothers the mites and helps healing. Refrigerate the mixture between uses, and warm it up before each use. Let the pet's ears rest for 3 days before administering the follow-up treatment as outlined below:

1 pint boiling water
1 slightly rounded teaspoon yellow dock

Mix, cover tightly, and let steep for 30 minutes. Strain and let cool. Put the mixture in a clear bottle and keep it in the refrigerator. Warm the mixture and put a dropperful or two in each ear and massage the ear well once a day for three days. Let your pet shake its head and then clean out the opening with cotton swabs. If the pet's ears are irritated, use only the almond oil and vitamin E until the irritation fades. If the ears are inflamed or ultra sensitive, use bottled aloe vera gel instead of the oil until the inflammation subsides.
