Thread: Dog ear infections

I've had a couple of dogs that have had ongoing ear problems. Warm salty water is pretty good. Mix up some really salty water and get her to lye down on her side, and pour it into her topside ear and hold the flap over the opening and massage by holding the cartilage near the base. This should help loosen the wax and very salty water is great for mild infections.

I assume she has long hair around her inner ear. If so, trim it with some scissors so you can keep a good eye on the colour of the discharge.

With the salty water I would do twice a day for a start, then a bit less as it dries out. Just watch out for her ear getting too dry from the salt after a couple of weeks.
Anyway good luck, and I hope it comes right
