Even when using a non-prescription medication, it's wise to consult your veterinarian to ensure that your dog really does have ear mites. In addition, your vet will check to ensure that the eardrum is intact before treatment starts. This will determine which treatment is appropriate. If the tympanum (eardrum) is ruptured, drugs may pass into the middle ear and cause ototoxicity. This manifests itself as neurological disturbances such as a head tilt, horizontal nystagmus (the eyes flick from side to side), poor balance and vomiting. These effects can be serious and difficult to reverse. These ingredients, which are derived from chrysanthemum flowers, belong to a group called pyrethroids. They are neurotoxins, meaning that they work by inhibiting nerve transmission in insects.  Despite the way they work in insects, topical pyrethroids have a good safety margin in dogs. This is because the drug is poorly absorbed through the skin into the blood. In addition, even if some is absorbed, pyrethroids are 2,250x less toxic to dogs than insects.  Many different non-prescription products with these pyrethroids are available. One such treatment is Eradimite, containing pyrethrin 0.15%. The advised dose is 10 drops into each ear. Prescription products usually contain ectoparasiticide drugs such as pyrethrins, thiabendazole and monosulfiram. Some products have a proven efficacy at killing ear mites, but do not contain recognized ectoparasiticides; it is unclear exactly how they work.  One advantage of prescription products is that they contain anti-inflammatories, antimicrobials and sometimes a local anesthetic, all of which can be desirable to treat and soothe a sore, inflamed ear. Ectoparasiticides are pesticides for parasites that are found on the surface of the body. Most treatments prescribed will fall into this class of medication. Following your veterinarian’s instructions or the directions on the package, apply the drops in the instructed amount to each of your dog's ears. Massage gently, leave for a few minutes to penetrate the wax, and then wipe away any excess with cotton wool. This regime should be repeated every other day until the symptoms have resolved.  Application may be necessary for a full 3 weeks (which represents one complete life cycle of the ear mites). However, if there is no improvement after 1 week of treatment the diagnosis should be reevaluated. Not only do topical products kill the mite, but they also are anti-inflammatories and antibiotics, meaning they'll soothe irritation and treat secondary bacterial infections, too. There is a theoretical risk of toxicity if the medication is ingested, e.g., if it is licked out of the ear by another dog. Because of this, it's best to keep your dog isolated after receiving the medication until it dries. The signs of poisoning include excessive salivation, muscle tremors, agitation, and, in extreme cases, seizures. Should you notice any of these signs in another pet, keep the animal in a dark, quiet room so as to minimize stimulation, and seek veterinary advice. When a dog scratches his ear, he may transfer ear mites to his paw. When an active infection is present it is helpful to bathe the dog weekly with an insecticidal shampoo (such as Seleen) to decrease coat contamination, which can act as a reservoir for reinfection.

summary: Get your dog's ears checked. Choose an over-the-counter product containing pyrethrin or permethrin. Consider a prescription treatment as an alternative to OTC products. Apply your chosen medication as directed. Keep your dog away from other dogs after administering the medicine. Bathe your pup with an insecticidal shampoo for added protection.

Not all companies have the same goals even if they are looking to fill the same position.  Finding a company that agrees with your own personal values can make sure that you will be comfortable working there.  This can also help by assuaging any fears that your new employer might have regarding how well you will fit their culture.  Try looking online at the company's website to get a better feel for their culture. Ask any contacts you might have what the culture is like at the place you are investigating. Looking up reviews of the company can give you a good idea of how they interact with either past employees or customers. Most every employer will have some kind of social networking presences that you can examine. When searching for a position after being self-employed, it can be a good idea to focus the search on companies that have a unique need for your skill set.  Presenting yourself as someone capable of filling a specific need that an employer might have can give you the advantage and allow your application to be taken into consideration. Keep this in mind when crafting your resume and objective. If they need a team leader, you can emphasize your ability to self-start and keep yourself on task, which will translate nicely. Finding a new position and successfully obtaining it using large on-line databases or other traditional job search methods might work.  However, these methods can be difficult for a previously self employed person to find success with.  Instead, networking is the best option for finding an open position and getting an interview after being self employed.  Make your professional goals known to those you meet.  You never know who might end up helping you obtain a new position. Finding a friend that already works in a field you're interested is a great way to make contacts in that field.  You might also be able to make additional contacts through people you already know. Talk about your skills and accomplishments as well as anything you are currently working on. Keep track of the names and faces of any contacts you make. A great way to demonstrate your skill and personal passion for whatever position you might be seeking is to start a blog.  By creating quality and engaging content about your chosen field of interest, you can demonstrate your skills, knowledge, and ability to a potential employer.  Start posting to your blog regularly and work to build up an impressive display of your professional value.  You might want to turn your blog into your resume by including a neat presentation of your qualifications and contact information. Make sure your blog is sending the right message.  Keep your content, tone and presentation clean and professional. Seek out professional associations, conferences, and conventions that work in the field you are trying to gain employment with.  Attending these meetings will allow you to learn new skills and meet new people, giving you fresh leads on open positions to pursue.
summary: Find a company that has the right culture. Look for companies that can benefit from your skills. Network. Start a blog. Attend professional gatherings.
