Just like human ears, the ears of dogs generally have a self-cleaning mechanism that is built-in. However, there are times when your dog's ears get messy and dirty enough that you need to take action and clean them yourself. To begin cleaning your dog's ears, here are some tips so you can do it properly each and every time:
Check out your dog's ears as often as possible and check for any injury, scratches, as well as signs of infections (like redness, excessive wax, bad odor, or swelling). One or all of these issues might require assistance or checkup by your favorite vet
Use a dog-friendly ear rinsing liquid to help remove the dirt in your dog's ears. Pour a few drops of the ear rinse into both ears and carefully distribute the liquid to help break up any debris
Use cotton balls to wipe out all the debris. Be careful in using cotton swabs
Signs of ear problems should be brought to the attention of your vet Frisco TX, Coit Hedgcoxe Animal Hospital.
