First of all you need to make sure it is ear mites, this means taking neo to the vet, they will take a small swab from his ears and look under the microscope, if it is mites, it cannot be missed, but there are other things that could cause ear infections such as yeast and bacterias which are actually more common than ear mites. If it is earmites after all, i recommend either Revolution spot on or advocate spot on - both every 2 weeks (instead of 4) for 2 treatments, that should solve the ear mite problem.
