In the ears of the dog, dirt, sebum and other discharge from the ear canal accumulate. Correct and regular cleaning will keep your pet safe from otitis media and ear mites. Inspect and clean your dog's ears weekly. And if any suspicious symptoms and discharge are found, immediately seek help from a veterinarian.
It is necessary
- -cotton swabs
- -lotion or camphor oil
Instructions
Step 1
Place a few drops of ear lotion in your dog's ear canal. It will soften the dirt and make it easier to remove. You can use hydrogen peroxide or camphor oil, but get a special product from a pet store or veterinary pharmacy. After you have applied the drops, massage the dog's ear. Usually, if the dog is not bothered by anything, she likes to carry out such a procedure.
Step 2
Take a stick with a lot of cotton wool (for children) or a match wrapped in cotton wool. Clean your ear canal with a cotton swab. Don't be afraid to damage your eardrum. The structure of the dog's ear is L-shaped, and you simply cannot reach the membrane. If a lot of ear deposits have accumulated, repeat the procedure after 1-2 days.
Step 3
If you find tough crusts in the ear cavity while brushing, it is possible that your dog has an ear mite. For treatment, use special drops. They not only eliminate ticks, but also have antimicrobial effects.
