My cat has ear mites, Revolution isn't working. Need OTC help!

Question

Cat has ear mites. I’m waiting for first dose of Revolution to kick in (applied 2 weeks ago). I have been cleaning his ears pretty well with Zymox and cotton balls but I’m sure there’s still mites left in his ears where I can’t get to. I hate to see him suffer with such itchy ears. Is there an over the counter treatment I can pick up somewhere? Pet's info: Cat | Himalayan | Male | neutered | 9 years and 7 months old | 8 lbs

Cute kitty! It may take 3-4 weeks for the revolution to completely rid the infection. You can purchase Eradimite or Otomite without a prescription and this may help rid the infection more quickly. Not sure if the Zymox you’re using is the treatment drops (which are great) or the cleanser (also a great product) but if it’s not the cleanser you are using already, then get some type of ear cleanser to help break up the “gunk” and get them out of there. Thanks for asking Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach!
