Be sure to sprinkle some ear hair powder when pulling it out, otherwise it will be very painful for the dog and may bleed in severe cases.

Teddy's ear canal is covered with abundant ear hair, which makes the ventilation environment of the ear canal very poor. If it is not cleaned frequently, it is easy to produce dirt. In severe cases, it can cause ear mites. If there is a lot of ear hair, water will enter it. , or if dirt enters the ear canal, it will easily become inflamed, and sometimes ear mites will also occur. The purpose of plucking the ear hair is to ensure that the Teddy's ears have a better wind environment, and to prevent dirt and evil in the ear hairs, reduce the possibility of the Teddy being infected with ear mites, and prevent foreign objects in the ear canal. A normal ear canal should be clean, no smell, no dirt, and pink.

Preparation for plucking ear hair

　1.

Hemostatic forceps or clips commonly used by girls to pluck their eyebrows

2. Ear hair plucking powder (ear powder)

3. Ear clearing liquid (oil)

4. Cotton swabs/cotton, preferably cotton wool sold in pharmacies, are very cheap, and you can tear them out by yourself

Cleaning before plucking ear hair

If there is a lot of earwax in the ear, it will affect the plucking of the ear hairs, because the hemostatic forceps may be covered with earwax.

Special ear cleaners for dogs (it is important to distinguish between two types of ear cleaners: one is specifically for cleaning and the other is for treating mites. If the dog suffers from ear mites, both ear cleaners are needed), and the ear cleaner is Aim the injection into the ear canal and fill it to the outside of the ear. Then use your thumb and index finger to pinch the underside of the ear heel and gently massage it for 10-15 seconds. Let go of the dog and let the dog shake its head to shake out the ear medicine and earwax. Wait for the ear cleaning The oil works, and then use cotton (you can use hemostatic forceps to hold cotton wool or cotton swabs) to wipe the ear pot clean (remember to only wipe the part that you can see, don't go deep into the ear canal to clean) to complete the cleaning Ear work!

I would like to explain here that part of the earwax in the dog's ear canal is very stubborn and sticks to the ear canal. Therefore, let the ear cleaning oil slowly dissolve these stubborn earwax for 2-3 days. When the dog shakes its head, the earwax will be cleaned out again, so two or three days after cleaning the ears, you need to pay attention to using cotton to wipe the ear canal.

Finally, use pliers to wrap the cotton ball with ear cleaning liquid and wipe the dog's ear canal and the outside of the ear. At this time, remember not to use the rotating method, but to pick and clean it from the inside out. Ear wax picked out.

Steps for plucking ear hair

Now that the cleaning is complete, we can start our work of plucking ear hair

1. Open the dog’s ears and let the dog lie down quietly on its side. If youIf the dog's cooperation is not high, let the dog stand on a higher chair or table before pulling. This way, the dog is afraid of heights and will be more cooperative.

5. When I mentioned pulling out with fingers, it usually refers to the area of ​​the outer ear, inside the ear canal, and if you can see the part with the naked eye, use a tool or use your fingers to pull it out.

TIPS: 1. Whether you use tools or fingers to pull out, you are required to pull it out as fast as possible. The faster, the less painful it will be. If you are really difficult to operate, it is recommended to let the ear hair grow longer to deal with it. , it will be easier for beginners.
