Hello everybody..question on ear cleanings

When it comes to cleaning bulldog's ears, are there any suggestions?

Are there any cleaning products preferred by anyone?

How often do you clean?

Spencer gets buildup in his ears quite often. Right now I use antibacterial wet ones to clean. Should I be using these?

Thanks

Malesab is GREAT....

My old girl that I lost a couple years ago always had ear problems, and believe me, I tried everything. This was when Malesab was new, and when I tried it, it worked the BEST....

Thanks

Start a weekly cleaning schedule

Ears are a nasty breeding ground for yeast and bacteria so a weekly routine of squirting in an ear wash and cleaning afterwards will help keep the build up and gunk from becoming bad.

I know, I know, I sound like a broken record but IMO, the best ear wash solutions are Epi Otic or Nolvasan, available without an rx and can be purchased on-line at great prices. Both have ingredients to help stop yeast and bacteria and can also be used to clean facial folds, in between toes and even under the tail pocket.

I have used Epi Otic once a week and Sumo has never had an ear infection except for when he was a young pup and before I started using that product.

Thank you for the feedback

I use...

Veterinarians Best Natural Care; it comes with an ear wash and then you put in the ear dry, its a liquid that turns to a powder. I do it once a week and my ice has the cleanest ears going! lol I purchased it at petco

It is...


Sorry I should have listed it in the first email but was to lazy to get up lol!

It's called "Flush" Brand is Malaseb.

It's a new formula, the vet said it's great because it doesn't irritate the dogs ear like most do, you just squirt a drop down the ear and you dont have to worry about dabbing it or wiping it - it just does the trick on it's own!

What is the name of the vet product??

Thanks

Ears

I just use a baby wipe to clean Milo's ears, but the vet did give me some good ear wash that you just drop down the ear once a week and it does it's magic, you may want to pick up something like that from the vet ?!

Great Advice!

Highly recommend you follow Sue's suggestion, Vets will recommend the same thing - preventative measures
