: Cleaning and caring for your pet's ears are important ways to reduce the chance for ear infections and excess wax build up. Routine cleaning and at-home examinations are good ways to detect potential infections or other ear issues early. As a dog owner, it is preferable to keep an eye on your dog's behavior & health & you will know when your dog starts to act abnormally. In particular, keep an eye out for:
• Discharge from the ear
• Odor around the ear
• Excess scratching, pawing or rubbing at the ears
• Redness in the ear canal
• Sensitivity or pain around the ears
• Ear swelling
• Masses around the ear area.
To clean the dog's ears use a solution adapted to the ears. Push the tip of the bottle into the canal, squeeze out a steady stream of solution , pull up the tip & massage the ear steadily for 30 seconds & finally use a piece of cotton to wipe the canal without pushing it into the ear.
