Dogs’ ear canals are prone to accumulation of grease, dust and moisture, especially in dogs with big ears. The drooping ear shells often cover the ear canals, or the long hair near the ear canals (such as poodles and Pekingese dogs) etc.) You can also cover the ear canal, so that due to poor air circulation in the ear canal, dirt and moisture can easily accumulate in the ear canal, causing ear canal infection and inflammation. Therefore, the dog's ear canal should be checked frequently. If the dog is found to scratch its ears frequently or shake its ears vigorously, it means there is a problem with the ear canal, and it should be checked carefully in time.

The method for removing earwax is: first use alcohol cotton balls to disinfect the external auditory canal, then use 3% sodium bicarbonate ear drops or 2% boric acid water to drop on the earwax. After the dried earwax softens, gently remove it with tweezers. Don't insert it too deep, and you need to be highly focused. If the dog shakes its head, take out the tweezers quickly to avoid puncturing the eardrum or piercing the ear canal mucosa. For ear canals with inflammation, 4% boric acid glycerin ear drops, 2.5% chloramphenicol glycerin ear drops, cortisone neomycin ear drops and other ear drops can be used, 3 times a day. In addition, long hair near the ear canal should be trimmed regularly to prevent shampoo and water from splashing into the ear canal when bathing.
