How to get rid of mites in your dog's ears
Mites have always been a hidden danger of dog skin diseases, and removing mites is also one of the purposes of our daily bathing for dogs. So what should we do if there are mites in the dog's ears? Let's take a look at the specific steps below.
1. Clean the ear canal
Prepare some wet cotton swabs and wipes, hold the wet cotton ball with pliers and clean the visible dirt from the dog's ears. For some indurations that are more difficult to clean, the pet owner cannot directly buckle them with his hands. They should use cotton balls and other dog products to dip in vegetable oil to soften the earwax before cleaning it out.
2. Trim ear hair
Some mites and bacteria attach to animal hair and are difficult to remove. Therefore, if the dog has a lot of ear hair, the pet owner should cut the hair in the dog's ears to reduce the retention of these dirty things. When trimming, use small pet scissors and other dog supplies, and trim them carefully. If you are afraid of hurting your dog's ears, you can ask professional pet care personnel to operate.
3. Use ear wash
The structure of a dog's ear is relatively complex and deep, and some deep substances cannot be cleaned in place. The pet owner can use ear wash and other dog products to drip into the dog's ear, then gently soften the ear root, and finally let go of the dog to let the dog shake off the stains. Ear mites need to be cleaned every day, so pet owners can't be lazy to avoid a comeback of ear mites
4. Isolation and disinfection
The reason why dogs have ear mites is actually related to the environment. Therefore, pets should regularly help dogs to clean and disinfect the kennel, and use disinfectant to remove the place where the dog haunts to reduce the retention of bacteria and mites. In addition, the dog's daily dog toys should also be cleaned and dried in time. You can take your dog out to bask in the sun every day. Ultraviolet rays can help dogs get rid of ear mites to a certain extent.
