Compared with medium and large dogs, small dogs are more likely to have excessive ear hair problems. If the owner does not regularly pluck the dog's ear hair and clean the ear canal, the dog's chance of contracting ear mites will increase significantly. And even if you don’t have ear mites, if your ear canal is not cleaned for a long time, your dog will scratch his ears due to ear itching, so it is necessary to clean the ear canal regularly.

3. Operation steps:

1. First, pour an appropriate amount of ear-plucking powder into the dog's ears, and then gently rub the roots of the dog's ears to evenly distribute the powder in the dog's ears. After about 30 seconds of gentle rubbing, you can start plucking the dog's ear hair.

2. Open the dog's ears and first remove excess ear hair on the periphery so that we can better observe the situation inside, and then use hemostats to slowly remove the ear hair inside.

3. After making sure that the ear hairs are removed, start cleaning the ear canal. Put a few drops of ear cleaning water into the dog's ear canal, and then gently rub the base of the dog's ears. Next, use a hemostatic forceps to clamp a small ball of cotton, fix the cotton left and right, and rotate the hemostatic forceps with your right hand so that the cotton can be fixed on the head of the hemostatic forceps. It is best to wrap the head of the hemostatic forceps completely to avoid Picking out the ears can cause damage to the ear walls.

4. In addition to dripping ear cleaning solution into the dog's ears first, you can also directly wet the hemostatic forceps clamped with cotton in the ear cleaning solution, and then remove the ears. The depth of picking out the ears can be deeper, because the dog's ear canal is L-shaped, so we will not poke the dog's eardrum.

Before removing your ears, drop ear cleaning solution first, or directly wet the hemostatic forceps with cotton.

5. If the dog’s ears are not very dirty, you only need to wipe them with cotton dipped in ear drops for the first time, and then wipe them directly with dry cotton. If they are dirty, you can use ear drops several times more. Generally, as long as there is no dirt visible on the cotton, there is no need to wipe it again.

6. Repeat the above steps to clean the other ear.

2. Make sure the cotton is firmly fixed on the hemostatic forceps, otherwise it will be troublesome for the cotton to fall into the dog's ears.
