Do not use long and hard things such as cotton swabs to clean the ear canal. No owner can 100% guarantee that the hair ball is absolutely quiet at a certain moment.
Some cats and dogs have thin stratum corneum, and the secreted oil can protect the skin of cats and dogs. In addition, the mucosa inside the ear canal is very delicate. Regular wiping will cause damage to the mucosa, damage to the epithelial cells, causing subsequent bacterial infections, and then turning into otitis. Or it may poke the ear drum, causing injury to the inner ear and tissues or cotton balls are very likely to stay in the ear canal.
Cleaning the ear is only an auxiliary function and cannot kill bacteria, fungi or ear mites. If the ear canal is red and swollen, the ear wax is abnormal in color, heavy odor, itching, etc., you need to go to the hospital for further treatment.
You must use ear scrub for pets. Weird liquids such as water and alcohol are not good. You should always pay attention to the expressions of the hairy child. If the expression is painful, it indicates that there may be damage in the ear canal.
Dogs clean their ears about one to two weeks, preferably before taking a shower. And it is checked regularly every month. In addition, long hairs near the ear canal should be trimmed regularly. Prevent shampoo and water from splashing into the ear canal while taking a bath. After a dog swims, a hair dryer can be used to help it dry the ear canal, especially the long-haired sagging dog mentioned at the beginning of the article.
