Can I treat my dog's and cat's ear mites at home without a vet?

Question

My friend has 2 dogs and 3 cats all with ear mites. I dont think they'll be able to take all of them to vets. I was wondering if there was something they could do at home to help clear them up? They have alcohol wipes, neosporin, hydrogen peroxide, vaseline n a few other things. And I heard oils could help, but dont know if sesame, or vegetable would be appropriate. Or is there a medicine we could get from somewhere besides a vet? I feel bad for the itchy eared critters. Pet's info: Dog | Pit Bull Terrier | Female | spayed | 50 lbs

No, do not put oil in their ears! That will make things so much worse! Unfortunately no, this cannot be treated at home, they need medication from the vet to treat the ear mites. Revolution is an excellent product that kills ear mites. Best of luck.
