My kitten has hair loss near her ear and it looks nasty. Mites?

Question

So I had just asked about my kitten, Luna. Along with the white gums, I also think she may have ear mites? She has lost a lot of hair in front of her ear and it's nasty looking. What can I do for that? Pet's info: Cat | Siamese | Female | unspayed | 3 months old | 5 lbs

I'm sorry to hear Luna isn't feeling well. There are a few treatments available for ear mites. A product called Revolution is applied to the skin and that will kill the ear mites. There are also medications you put into the ears to kill the mites- your vet should have an option for you. Lastly, I recommend a vet see her to make sure it's mites and not an infection. I would leave the ears alone until you see the vet so they can diagnose the cause. Good luck and kisses to Luna!
