It’s a good idea to check your dog’s ears frequently to make sure they are clean and clear. If you’re not sure how to clean your dog’s ears, give your vet a call and ask for assistance. If your dog enjoys a good swim every now and then, make sure you dry his ears well so as not to cause irritation or infection. Your vet may recommend using an ear drying solution in your dog’s ears to help dry up water especially if your dog is prone to ear infections. You may find similar solutions made up of witch hazel and other ingredients at local pet stores. When checking your dog’s ears, watch out for ear discharge, a bad smell, redness, swelling, crusty skin, and hair loss as these could be signs of an infection or other health related problem. If your dog has any of these signs, please call your pet clinic Sarasota FL.
