Many pet owners may have encountered this problem: the ears of the teddy dog in the home always emit a foul smell. This can be due to dirt accumulation in the ear canal, ear mite infection, or other reasons. So, what should be done about this to make Teddy feel refreshed and healthy?The following will give you some effective suggestions.
1.*Use ear drops oil for cleanup**
Teddy's ear odor is often caused by dirt remaining in the ear canal. For this, you can consider going to a pet hospital to buy ear drops that are specialized in removing dirt. To use, gently drop 2 3 drops of ear oil deep into Teddy's ear canal and gently rub it to ensure that the oil is evenly distributed. After that, you can use a cotton ball to gently wipe it off to remove the dissolved dirt.
2.*Done for ear mites***
When Teddy's ears have a persistent odor and there are obvious black spots or dark spots on the wall of the ear canal, it is likely due to an ear mite infection. At this time, you should go to a regular pet hospital in time to buy ** ear mite medicine. Be sure to avoid home remedies such as hydrogen peroxide, as these methods may harm Teddy's ears.
3.*Trim excessive ear hair**
Teddy's ear sockets can also cause smelly ears if they have too much ear hair in their ear sockets. Therefore, it is recommended that you regularly trim these excessively long ear hairs for your teddy, especially those close to the ear canal. This avoids the growth of dirt and bacteria between the hairs and reduces the odor of the ears at the source.
4.*Check the health of your ears regularly**
In addition to the methods described above, prevention is always the best strategy. It's a good idea to check Teddy's ears at least once a month for foreign bodies, redness, swelling or discharge. Once a problem is found, it should be dealt with in time to avoid the problem from worsening. At the same time, establishing a long-term relationship with your veterinarian can ensure that you receive timely guidance and help when you encounter problems.
