The dog's ear canal is full of water and bacterial infections. If it is inflammation or breeding ear mites, the taste is very strong and pungent. So how do you get rid of the dog's ear odor? You must always wash your dog's ears thoroughly!
1. Tools: ear washing water, cotton wool, hemostatic forceps.
2, ear cleaning care steps:
① Conduct daily inspection. First look at the auricle and external auditory canal for signs of redness or dark red foreign body secretion.
2 wipe. Wipe the dog's eardrum and ear canal with absorbent cotton, and wipe off the earwax that is easy to clean.
③ Drop ear washing water. Hold the dog's head so that it can't move, and then drop the ear wash into the ear canal.
4 press and knead. Massage gently near the eardrum with your hands to help the ear wash water give full play to its descaling effect. At this time, dogs are usually half-squinting, which is very comfortable and enjoyable.
⑤ After about two or three minutes, the cleaning is finished. When the owner lets go of the dog, he should immediately step back three or four meters to prevent it from splashing ear wash water all over you. Let the dog shake his head, and the dog will shake his head and pour out the excess ear washing water. At this time, you can wipe off the dirty things with a cotton head and clean the dirty places around your ears.
When nursing a dog's ears at home, generally speaking, the earwax in the ear canal is gently removed with a cotton swab and ear washing liquid; Be very gentle and careful, because too rough action can sometimes cause ear canal damage or plug dirt deeper.
When choosing a cotton swab, do not choose a cotton swab with a big head, which is about 1/3 smaller than the ear canal. In addition, don't choose a cotton swab that will separate the cotton head from the plastic stick as soon as it touches the water, otherwise the cotton swab will enter the ear canal.
-Common ear canal diseases in dogs:
Water in the ear canal: Bathing is the most likely cause of water in the ear canal. When bathing the dog, please remember to put a large piece of cotton in the ear canal to prevent water from flowing in. In addition, swimming, playing with water or dogs licking each other's ear canal can easily cause water accumulation in the ear canal.
Sarcoptes: One of the most infectious ear canal diseases, which usually makes dogs' ears extremely itchy, and the dirt in the ear canal is black and sticky.
Allergy: The skin of the dog's ear canal is red, swollen and itchy, but if it is a simple allergy, it generally has no smell.
Foreign body falling in: the cotton head of cotton swab is the most common foreign body falling into the ear canal. Please seek veterinary treatment as soon as possible.
Bacterial infection: bacterial infection is usually secondary, such as Proteus, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, etc. This kind of problem needs veterinary identification and drug treatment.
Dogs should start ear care at an early age and clean the ear canal once or twice a week. The grease in the dog's ears has a certain protective effect on the ears. Excessive cleaning will wash off grease, which is not conducive to the health of dogs. The ear canal structure of dogs is different from that of humans. People's ear holes are horizontal and go straight to the eardrum. However, the dog's ear is located above the head, and the ear canal first bends vertically downwards, and then bends towards the eardrum, showing a 90-degree bend, like an L-shape. Therefore, when we clean the ear canal of dogs, we generally don't touch the eardrum.
