My cat has a skin scab and ear mites. What Petco products help?

Question

Found a scab (dry, white with reddish center, raised) on my cat's back, which is about 1/2 inches. Her coat was moist and mat (stuck) probably due to fluid. I cut that area fur short. I was advised to give her Omega oil, ointment. Anything else I should do? Also, she has what appears to be ear mites (black). Do you sell any natural topical cream or ear care?

I recommend cleaning the scab and using an antibacterial ointment on it. It should heal in a few days to a week. For the ears, dark discharge can be ear wax, mites or a yeast or bacterial infection. PetCo does sell natural ear products. Please talk with an assistant in the store to purchase the best one. If after using it her ears don't improve then you should take Cha Cha to the veterinarian for an exam and treatment. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to help you care for Cha Cha.
