Just looked at Brambles post where she says clean right inside the ear with a cotton bud. I've only ever wiped round the outer bit not deep inside. What do you do with your girls?if your dog is scratcvhing more than normal or shaking it head more than normaly then they may have a wee ear problem. breeds with long floppy ears are prone to ear problems because of the lack or air flow to the ear canal. so its good practice to check and clean their ears as part of your grooiming. if the smell changes or the ear wax becomes unsusaly thing it might be an idea to contact your vet, but most of the time you can keep ontop of it. there are lots of ear cleaners so you will noprmaly find ont to sute your dog. i like having just a normal one for cleaning mut also recoment quistil as it is fab for prsistant ear problems.
Poor little Izzy, she seems to get more than her fair share of problems. Let's hope as she gets older it all settles down for her.Izzy had lots of dark ear wax and the vet sold me an ear cleaner called logic. That worked for a few months then her ears started to get smelly. Back to the vet and we now have drops for a week. She has scratched her ears relentlessly since I bought her at 10 weeks, the vet has checked her for mites several times but finds nothing.
