Can a dog get earmites from a cat?

Yes, and I have heard the you can too. Not sure about that tho. This is from a site I found:

And lastly we have EAR MITES (or "Canker) ....not so much a skin problem, but close. Ear mites cause loads of wax to form in the ears, and are very irritating. Also very infectious indeed. All dogs and cats in the house must be treated, cleaning out the ears, and then applying insecticidal ear drops repeatedly. I usually do this twice weekly for a month. But it's essential to treat ALL the pets. Otherwise, if just 1 or 2 mites survive in an untreated pet, then the whole problem will start over, a few weeks later!

It's possible, if they are good friends and snuggle a lot together. Earmites are spread by direct contact; they can't survive outside of an animal's ear canal.

It's unlikely though, if your dog is one of the floppy-eared breeds. Just keep an eye on him. Earmites are easy to treat, but get the meds from the vet rather than over-the-counter.

Yes, both the animals need to be treated at the same time to keep them from being transmitted back and forth. Ear mite medicine can be purchased from either a vet or a pet store. I prefer the vet since there may be other things that need to checked for such as an ear infection as well. Take both in at the same time for treatment. The treatment will be need to be done several times a day for several days or as long as your vet tells you to.

My son rescued a kitten from a dumpster with ear mites and worms, some how we got lucy and none of my other animals didn't get them.

Most definatly!! If your cat has ear mites.........then your dog..... even if they are not friends can get them...you should talk to your vet and get Revolution for both your dog and cat.....it will take care of ear mites fleas and other internal pests that your pets can have.

yes these can be passed from animal to animal......you can buy ear mite killer at wal mart for like 3 bucks...the stuff from the vet is 10 times and the price and works the same as the wal mart stuff, or the petco stuff.

i think a dog can get ear mites from a cat

Yes, take your dog to the vet right away if your cat has mites. They are like fleas...

Yes. If one critter has ear mites, the other can catch them.

any animal can give another one ear mites. have all your animals treated for them.
