How to clean the ears of an Icelandic Sheepdog? The dog’s ear canal is covered with abundant ear hair. If it is not cleaned regularly, it is easy to produce dirt. In severe cases, it can cause ear mites. So it is still necessary to clean the ears.

1. The ear canal is relatively clean. If your Icelandic Sheepdog’s earwax is not serious, cleaning it is not difficult. You can first use your hands to push aside the hair around the Icelandic Sheepdog's ears, then pull up the auricle, dip some glycerin into a cotton swab, apply it on the Icelandic Sheepdog's external auditory canal, and then gently massage the Icelandic Sheepdog's entire ear with your hands. Disperse the oil that has entered the Icelandic Sheepdog's ears, and finally use a cotton swab to insert into the ear canal and wipe it clean.

2. Excessive and hard earwax. If your Icelandic Sheepdog's earwax is not only excessive, but also condensed into hard lumps that are difficult to clean, then disinfect the entire auricle with alcohol first, then go to the pet hospital to buy special ear drops for pets, drop them on the earwax lumps, and wait for the earwax to soften. Afterwards, just use tweezers to gently take out the earwax. However, parents should be careful not to insert the tweezers too deep, because the dog’s ears are very delicate, so be careful when cleaning them. That’s why parents need to pay attention. And if you see the Icelandic Sheepdog struggling a little, you should take out the tweezers quickly to avoid stabbing the Icelandic Sheepdog’s eardrum.

3. There is inflammation in the ears. If the Icelandic Sheepdog's ears are still inflamed, it is best to go to the pet hospital to buy special anti-inflammatory ear drops and use them according to the doctor's instructions, including the dosage and usage instructions. Parents first pull up the Icelandic Sheepdog's ears, then drip ear drops into the ears, and then gently massage them with their hands to promote the absorption of the medicine.
