Test or placebo treatment was administered to both ears of the cat following the pre-treatment examination. Cats' ears were examined by ear swab microscopy at multiple intervals throughout the life cycle of the mite (up to day 30). Ninety-nine percent (99%) of the milbemycin oxime-treated group were ear mite negative at the microscopic exams.

Safety:

A study was conducted using otic doses of 0.1, 0.3 or 0.5% Milbemax for Cats (Milbemycin Oxime) solutions administered once weekly for six applications in kittens that were 4 weeks of age at the initiation of the study. Otic doses of 0.1 and 0.3% did not produce adverse systemic or local effects. One kitten treated with 0.5% was lethargic 8 hours after the second treatment. The kitten was offered milk replacer and by 10 hours post-treatment it appeared normal. In this kitten, lethargy was not observed after subsequent treatments. A study was conducted to evaluate the safety of a 0.1% Milbemax for Cats (Milbemycin Oxime) solution in adult cats. Topical doses at 1X, 3X or 5X the recommended dose applied in one ear did not produce adverse effects.
