Tresaderm or Acarexx can be used to treat ear mites in cats. Your veterinarian can dispense either after an exam. Confirmation of ear mite infection is simple. Your vet can examine a swab of the ears under a microscope in the clinic. Acarexx is a one time treatment. Tresaderm takes about 7 days to clear mite infections. Another option would be Revolution topical. In addition to killing ear mites, it will protect your cat against fleas, heartworm, round worm and hookworm.
