How to prevent ear mites in American Cocker Spaniels:
If a Cocker Spaniel gets ear mites, a lot of reddish-brown or black secretions will accumulate in their ear canals, and an unpleasant smell will also be produced.

Ear mite symptoms
The poop scraper needs to understand that there is usually not a lot of dirt in the healthy ear canal of a Cocker Spaniel, only some brown earwax, which can be wiped clean. When you find that your Cocker Spaniel frequently shakes its head or scratches its ears with its paws, you need to immediately open the Cocker Spaniel's ears and check carefully. Dogs suffering from ear mites will have a large amount of reddish brown or black color accumulated in the ear canal. If I clean up the discharge today, but it will still appear tomorrow, I am sure it is ear mites.
Prevent ear mites:
If there is more than one pet at home, the Cocker Spaniel needs to be isolated immediately after it is diagnosed that it has ear mites. This is to prevent the ear mites from being transmitted to other pets. When cleaning, let the Cocker Spaniel lie down on its side, open its ears and put them on its head. Wrap cotton with cotton swabs or hemostats. Clean the earwax outside the ear canal first, then replace it with new cotton and dip it in cotton. Apply some ear drops deep into the ear canal and rub gently. After the ear mites have softened, pour a small amount of ear drops directly into the ear canal, then gently rub the base of the Cocker Spaniel's ears, and then wipe off the earwax. The remaining little earwax will be removed by the cocker spaniel. Dogs will also throw it out on their own.
You need to pay great attention to the hygiene of your dog’s ears, especially for dogs with big ears like Cocker Spaniels. The ear canals need to be ventilated frequently, otherwise ear mites will easily breed. As long as daily care is done well, the chance of Cocker Spaniel suffering from ear mites will be greatly reduced.
