Yay! Moving in the right direction! One thing that has helped me medicate Zeddie is to tell her exactly what I am doing and why. Ie: shoving metronidazole down her throat to get rid of the diarrhea. Maybe that will help Zidi when you put drops in her ears? Be honest if you know it hurts, say it might sting for a second but it is to help with the mites. A lot of the times the fear is of the unknown. In the metronidazole case it didn't help much because it tastes terrible, but it helped a lot at the vet.

Thanks Kristin. Makes sense. I will try that.

I still say it would be a lot easier to just give her a single dose of Advantage Plus on her back then trying to give ear drops twice a day for days on end, certainly a lot less traumatic for her...

3 drops in each ear every 3rd day. Have to check on Advantage Plus.

I do not know if Advantage has improved over the years, but I almost killed one of my best dogs of all time due to an allergic reaction to Advantage... Advantage had all sorts of blood work and everything. They never found anything, but that was the only thing it could have been.. I cannot go back to that brand for anything. Do keep in mind that was over 15 years ago... But once burned like that you never forget it.

As a very young kitten, she had vasculitus in which the blood supply to the edges of the ears was restricted and the edges died. Patti was able clear up the situation, but it left her ears scarred. But she is STILL my angel and I LOVE her "special" ears. :) We kiss her ears and tell her how much we love them ALL the time.
