How to clean the ears of a British Toy Snipe? Although many people often clean their dogs and even bathe them every week, some people still ignore the cleaning of their dogs’ ears and eyes.

　1. Why do dogs’ ears and eyes need to be cleaned

The first is to remove dirt from the ear shell, and the second is to clean the ear canal. Wax, dirt or moisture easily accumulates in the dog's ear canal, so the dog's ears need to be clean and kept dry. If the dirt and moisture in the dog's ears are not removed regularly, it can easily cause ear inflammation. Dogs with large or protruding eyes are prone to irritation and injury and require special attention. Generally, wash your eyes once a day to remove dust and eye mucus in your eyes.

　2. How to properly help clean ears and eyes

How to clean the ears: Cleaning the outer ear shell is relatively easy, but you have to be careful when cleaning the ear canal. You can use a cotton swab dipped in a little olive oil and wipe it inward little by little. The cotton swab should not be too long, grab the ear with the other hand and wipe it slowly until it is very clean. If there is a large amount of earwax in the external auditory canal, add 1 drop of 2% borax water and carefully remove it with tweezers after softening. When the dog's head shakes, pull out the tweezers immediately to prevent damage to the tympanic membrane or ear canal mucosa. After cleaning, if there is inflammation, pus, or parasites, treatment medication should be used. If there are no other conditions, sprinkle a little boric acid powder into the ears to keep them dry. In winter, very short-haired puppies are prone to frostbite on their ears, so they need to apply a small amount of oil and massage them at any time.

Cleaning of dog eyes: To clean the eyes, you can use a damp cloth to gently wipe away the eye stains from the corners of the eyes, or use a cotton ball dipped in 2% borax water to wipe away the eye stains. You can use either tap water or eye drops when washing your eyes. A small amount of dry eye tar often accumulates near the corners of a dog's eyes. Some dogs, such as dogs and poodles, have excessive eye gland secretion and often shed tears. They need to clean their eyes frequently. The best way to remove the tear effect is to instill eye drops or wash with boric acid solution. Take 2 grams of boric acid powder and dissolve it in 100 ml of warm water to prepare a 2% boric acid solution. For dry eye stains, use a wet cotton ball to wipe away. If you use a cotton ball, the cotton wool will stick to the surface of the eyes. For excessive secretions, boric acid solution can be used to wash them away. Be careful when rinsing. If it drips on white hair, stains will remain.
