How to deal with serious ear mites in dogs: Isolation

If the ear mites in dogs are serious, the first step in treatment is to isolate the dog. If you have a large number of pets in your home, be sure to isolate healthy dogs from dogs with ear mites and treat them individually.

After bathing, pull out the ear hair in the dog's ears. It is recommended to ask a professional doctor to handle this step. Then clean the dog's ear canal, making sure to use a hemostat and cotton swabs. Never use cotton swabs, because the stick of the cotton swab is too hard and can damage the epithelial cells of the ear canal, causing bacterial infection and then otitis. Or it may poke the eardrum, causing injury to the inner ear. In addition, cotton swabs can also push earwax into the ear canal, blocking the ear canal and affecting treatment.
First pour the ear cleaning water into the dog's ear canal, then use one hand to lift the ear to prevent the ear cleaning water from flowing out, and massage the ear canal with the other hand to allow full contact between the ear cleaning water and the earwax. Then use a rolled cotton swab to clean the dog's ears. You can clean it several times.
