wildthingcarriers275bn.jpgCleaning your dog’s ears is an essential part of grooming. Be on the lookout for wax, fungus, and ear mites on them. First, always make sure to use the right cleaning products. Bear in mind that the outer and inner parts of your dog’s ears are very delicate. It is advisable to use an “ear wash solution” specifically created for dog ear cleaning. Soak a cotton ball in the formula and squeeze out excess liquid. Then, place the wet cotton ball in your dog’s ears, starting at the base, and gently rub it.Gently message the outsides of the ears for about a minute where you put the cotton ball. This will help the solutions to get down in the ear. Allow your dog to shake off excess moisture. Never use a q-tip in your dog’s ears for it could damage his eardrum! Try to check your dog’s ears at least once a week. If you dog’s ears are dirty and infected, he may suffer from an ear hematoma by breaking blood vessels when shaking his head due to irritation and discomfort. If your dog is near or on the water, try some water safety products. If you see any lumps in his ear or if his ear canal looks abnormal, better consult a veterinarian. It could be a sign of more serious ear infections or tumors.
