Very often, pet owners forget to take care of them too. Dog ears require regular grooming. This is especially true for dogs that have large ears.
The main problem with dog ears occurs during the warmer periods of the year. The name of this problem is ticks. No, these are not the ticks that bite humans. These are the so-called cow ticks. They are brown in color and are several times larger than usual in size. It is these ticks that dogs often cling to when walking. Therefore, after each walk, you should check your ears. If there is a tick in the ear cavity, then the dog, as a rule, often scratches his ears. The tick should be removed, and then lubricate the bite site with a special preparation in order to avoid festering. Boric alcohol will do.
In the ear cavity of dogs, not only sulfur accumulates, but also dirt. The result of the walks. For this reason, fleas can grow in your ears. The dog will not only scratch its ears often, but also behave somewhat restlessly. Once a week, it is necessary to wipe the dog's ears with a cloth, having previously moistened it in a 3% hydrogen peroxide solution.
Any purulent wounds that appear are the result of careless ear care or lack thereof. If the dog often scratches his ears, this indicates that someone is in them. Purulent combed wounds should not be healed on their own. It is best to seek advice from veterinary medicine. Some purulent wounds that appear are treated with antibiotics. Only a veterinarian is able to select the necessary drugs and prescribe the correct treatment.
