Dog Ear Mites & Solutions To Care For Pets Ears.
Ear Mites affect both dogs and cats. You will probably know if your pet has fruit mite problems by the behavior he or she displays.
If your pet starts shaking his head violently or won’t stop scratching at his ears, even to the point where he is crying out because it is painful, you are probably dealing with fruit mites.

The fruit swells and becomes painful as they bite through the skin to get at the blood supply.
