| Or, another method--also using a bottle with a squeeze tip, I squeeze some in and let the dog shake it out. Then I use a dry cotton ball (also making sure it doesn't get stuck in canal) to dry the ears. Sometimes with a tiny bit of alcohol on the cotton to also help in drying procedure.
If there is a wax build up problem, some food grade oil before the vinegar can help to loosen the wax, and then the vinegar and water with dog shaking can help get it all out.
incidentally make sure anything used is warmed in your hands to a nice body temp. first. You don't want either hot or cold down ear which can both hurt and cause problems. And don't stick swabs or bottle tips into the canal as they can go too far and puncture the drum. |
