Steps to clean Teddy’s ears

1. First check Teddy’s ears and observe whether there are any signs of redness or swelling in the auricle and external auditory canal or secretion of black-red foreign matter. If there is any problem, you need to see a doctor for treatment. Do not deal with it yourself.
2. Use cotton to wipe the dog’s eardrum and ear canal to remove the earwax that is easier to clean.
3. Open the dog’s ears and drop 3-5 drops of ear cleaning water into the ears. Do not drop too much. Apply drops to both left and right ears. Note that the dog is likely to shake its head during the dripping process, and be careful to hold the mouth to prevent the dog from shaking out the ear water.
4. After washing the ears, do not scrub in a hurry. Close your ears and rub and squeeze the roots of the ears for 1-2 minutes. During the rubbing process, you will hear the impact of the ear fluid inside the ears. This will achieve a thorough cleaning effect.
5. After the massage is completed, use hemostatic forceps wrapped with cotton to clean the ear cleaning water in the ears. You can also use cotton swabs.
