Ear mites in 2 week old

[Squidgirl76]

Found the sibling to the baby I just lost and it has ear mites.... Mom no where around and since it has been warm out I left it alone for 5 hours... I picked him up, warmed him and hydrated.... While feeding I noticed little critters around the ears.... What can I use that will not hurt my 2nd little guy that I have been blessed with?:Love_Icon:Love_Icon:Love_Icon:Love_Icon:Love _Icon:Love_Icon

You can wash his ears with blue Dawn dish soap
and water, then rub them down with mineral oil.

How do you know this one has ear mites?
You can GENTLY take a q tip and rub the outside
of the ear canal, (NOT IN) and see if any black specs
come off.
How did you acquire the sibling of the one you lost? :dono
Please remember, do NOT put this squirrel near any
other animals.

The ears aren't really very open at 2 weeks
A picture would help a lot here

Good catch! :w00t
For some reason I was thinking this little one was older,
as I remembered his sibling. :(
I should have read the title of the thread. :hidechair
