My nearly three-month-old kitten has ear mites that blocked its ears; I cleaned but could not reach inside, bought ear cleaner and ear-mite medicine, but the kitten cannot shake the debris out, so I cleaned manually — what should I do?
Suspected ear mites with no debris shaken out is normal because a cat's ear canal is L-shaped and holds secretion at the bend; simple cleaning cannot finish it. After the cleaner and medicine arrive, fill the canal, massage the base 5 to 10 seconds so the cat shakes some out, wipe the outer ear, then apply a drop or two of mite medicine for 2 to 4 weeks. Never use cotton swabs inside; use an Elizabethan collar and a monthly selamectin preventive.

For indigestion, give probiotics; for gastroenteritis with frequent vomiting, withhold food and give pet anti-inflammatory and anti-emetic plus probiotics; if no improvement, get IV fluids. Distemper or parvovirus also cause yellow vomiting and need early hospital care.

Where You Should Never Hit a Dog
Never strike a dog on the nose, tail, belly, or legs — these areas hold delicate nerves, breathing passages, organs, or fragile bones, and a hard blow can cause lasting damage.
