Always check your Labrador's ears As for the ear canal, if you find that the dog often scratches its ears, or keeps "shaking its ears" vigorously, it proves that there is a problem with the dog's ear canal, and it should be checked carefully immediately.

The way to remove earwax is: first use alcohol cotton balls to disinfect the outer ear canal, then use 3% sodium bicarbonate ear drops or 2% boric acid (water is placed on the earwax and wait until it dries up) After the earwax softens, use small tweezers to gently remove it. Do not insert the tweezers too deeply and be very focused. If the dog hesitates to head, take out the tweezers quickly to avoid puncturing the lining of the ear canal or piercing the ear canal mucosa.

In addition, for ear canals with inflammation, 4% boric acid glycerin ear drops, 2.5% chloramphenicol glycerin ear drops, cortisone neomycin ear drops and other ear drops can be used, 3 times a day. The long hair around the ear canals should be trimmed regularly, and shampoo and water splashes should be avoided when bathing.
