Did you know that keeping your Cocker Spaniel’s ears clean on a routine basis is part of maintaining his overall health? Talk with your vet to learn how to go about cleaning your pup’s ears. Most dogs don’t mind having their ears clean, but they do like to wiggle and squirm around during the process making it a little more difficult for you. You can clean your dog’s inner ears by dampening a cotton ball with mineral oil, hydrogen peroxide or another vet recommended solution. It’s a good idea to see your vet demonstrate this process before trying it on your own. Never insert anything into your dog’s ear canal and never clean your dog’s ears so frequently that it causes irritation. If your dog has hair growing in his ear canal, consult your vet before removing it. For additional suggestions, give your local veterinary clinic Marietta GA a call.
