How to clean puppy ears

How to clean puppy ears? Before cleaning the ears, first pluck the puppy's ear hair, sprinkle with hair plucking powder, and pull it out with your thumb and index finger or pointed-nosed tweezers; use a cotton ball or gauze dipped in ear skin lotion Wait to remove dirt, earwax and residual ear powder; if the cotton ball has a lot of dirt, you need to use skin care lotion to clean the ear canal.

First, pluck the ear hair, sprinkle with plucking powder, and use your thumb and index finger, or if you are experienced, use sharp-nosed tweezers to carefully pull out the excess hair from the ear canal.

2. Use cotton balls or gauze dipped in ear lotion (for dogs) or mineral oil or alcohol to remove dirt, earwax and residual ear powder. Only rub the area where you can see the pinna and ear canal, and don't extend too far inside.

Third, if there is a lot of earwax on the cotton ball and there is a foul smell in the ear, you must clean the ear canal with lotion. Do not pull the auricle back or lay it flat on your head at this time, because the ear protection solution may reach the level of the ear canal. After grabbing the cartilage at the base of the ear, pull it away from the head, allowing the liquid to fully contact the entire ear and wash it clean.

Fourth, drop a few drops of ear protection solution or mineral oil into the ear canal, pull the auricle downward, and put your hand on your head to prevent it from shaking. Use the other hand to massage the base of the ear for a while to remove the skin care products in the ear. The mineral oil is poured out, and the lumpy dirt in the ear is also drained out.
