Mites or ticks? If mites, has the infestation been confirmed by skin scraping examination by a veterinarian?

Yes it has been confirmed I have done skin scrapping and I have done 3 months course of selamactin spoton and one dose of broadline spoton for cats Cat has been recovered but mites are there so what to do now it is infectious and spreading to my body
Dr. Tajunnisa M
He might need few doses of Ivermectin injection as well. Parenteral route of administration gives the best results. You can book a home visit with veterinarian for the same. Kindly visit a medical doctor and get the treatment for yourself.
Dr. Tajunnisa M
Plus clean the bedding area of your pet to avoid reoccurrence.

Actually he is the kitten of 6 months when I brought him that time he was ok and after 20 days he started itching on ears he was infected with ear mites and then it spreaded to whole body and to me also
Dr. Tajunnisa M
Ok. But the Ivermectin can be given once pets cross 6 months. You get him checked once by veterinarian for appropriate treatment. As such there are no home remedies for mite infestation but a treatment protocol which has to be followed.

So my Question was can I shave his hairs fully then go for the treatment due to that hairs it is spreading more and more
Dr. Tajunnisa M
Ok. There are medicines which can be given either orally or subcutaneously. You can ask the doctor for the same as your pet is more than 6 months. You can go for hair trimming but for the crusty lesions, a medicated shampoo can also be used. Kindly include any syrup containing Omega fatty acids.

Dr. Tajunnisa M
I advise you to book a home consultation with a veterinarian so that there's an appropriate clinical examination, diagnosis and treatment of infestation.
