    Ear Mites CONSTANT

    My sons gf has a dog that has had ear mites for two to three years she said.  The vet gives them meds, it gets better then comes back? What is up with this? I have never heard of ear mites or how to get rid of them, but something just does not sound good.
     
    Any ideas, her poor pup is just suffering.

    They shouldn't just "come back" unless the dog is around another animal that has them and keeps passing them back to her dog.

    Is true. Do they have kitties or any other dogs?

    The most effective way I found to cure ear mites is to use Ivermectin (heartworm preventitive in pigs) a couple of drops in each ear all ears for a week.
