Many owners ignore an important part when giving their dogs daily cleaning and care, that is, the dog's ear canal. They do not realize that something is wrong until they smell the odor of the dog's ear canal.
The dog's ear canal is covered with rich ear hair. If it is not cleaned frequently, it is easy to produce dirt, which will cause ear mites in severe cases. The normal ear canal should be clean, without any odor, and without dirt. It's pink. If the dog often shakes his head unnaturally. Grab the ears with your claws. That means its ears are uncomfortable and need to be cleaned.
The method is: first wipe the dog's external auditory canal with an alcohol cotton ball. Observe whether there is dirt deep inside the ear. If so, use hemostatic forceps to wrap the medical degreasing cotton and gently wipe it out. If the dirt is harder, it is difficult to wipe out. Let it go first. Be careful not to insert it too deeply, as the dog will shake its head if it is uncomfortable, and if it is accidentally injured, it will hurt the dog's inner ear. Then use ear oil for pets to drop 2 drops into the dog's ear. Cover your ears and massage them gently for 1 minute, then look inside the ears. At this time, the hard earwax will become soft and you can wipe it out with a cotton swab.
Ear cleaning should be performed once a week. If the dog's ears have begun to turn red. It's so itchy. The taste is strong. There is a lot of earwax. Then clean it once a day. If you persist for 3 days, you will get a significant improvement. The number of times will be gradually reduced later. Until the ears are completely normal.
When the dog starts to clean the ear canal, the dog will resist because it is not adaptable. At this time, the master should not give up, the two will work together. One person holds the dog's head and prevents it from moving, and the other person cleanses it. Be sure to clean and comfort me softly. When massaging your ears, you should also talk to your dog gently. This calms its mood. Dogs will enjoy it very much over time.
