Ears

I HAVE A QUESTION ON HOW TO CLEAN MY DOGS EAR,WITHOUT HURTING HER,BECAUSE SHE TENDS TO MOVE ALOT?

 

pour a lid full of peroxide down each ear, then let it drain. When you want to restrain her, stradle her and lock your legs just before her rear legs.

 

Is she moving because she doesnt like it? Depending on why she doesnt want to stay still, Best thing is to just get her use to being touched and handled on the ears.. start small, give a treat and or lots of praise or toss her favorite toy around for a few seconds.. (they get the idea quick) and build from there.. I'll take a dry cotton ball and wipe, Then I progress to squirting the cotton ball with cleaning solution and wiping.
I dont knw to many dogs that are thrilled about having their ears cleaned out lol..

Restraining them only makes it worse..they dread it because they dont want to be restrained.

forgot..you dont want to force or push them..it gets you nowhere quickly and they lose trust..

 

I only take a dab of mineral or baby oil on a wad of tissue and wipe out the ear. This is only done to remove any earmite that may be present, along with any dirt.

But! my dog's ears aren't cropped so cleaning isn't really even necessary

Cropping or cutting your dog's ears only make it easy for dirt to get inside- my personal observation and opinion

 

SHE DOESN'T HOLD STILL BECAUSE SHE IS HIPER,ALSO SHE DON'T LIKE ME MESSing WITH HER EARS.

 

I use listerine with a sprayer for the mouth glue for torn ears & pads with a good antibiotic injected then followed by mouth antibiotics in the food now i have added to my medicine chest liquid sutures for mild cuts it seems to work well.
