The ear mites in dogs cannot be cured in one or two times, especially severe ear mites need to go to a pet hospital to find a professional to help clean them. This cost is relatively high, and the price is generally around 200 to 1,000 yuan. If the dog is just suffering from ear mites and the situation is not serious, the pet owner can prepare special ear cleaning products to help the dog clean the ear mites and care for the ear canal. The cost will not be very high. Pet ear cleaning liquid for about a few dozen yuan can play a cleaning role. The following is a specific cleaning step.
1. Isolate sick dogs and clean the environment.
Ear mites, also known as ear scabies, are parasitized in the ear canals of cats, dogs and other animals, and are highly contagious. After discovering that the dogs in the family have ear mites, the owner needs to put a neck cover on the dog and pay attention to isolating them to avoid other pets being infected. After the dog is isolated, it can clean and disinfect the environment it is in. It must be cleaned, then take out daily necessities, and then expose it to the sun to sterilize and remove mites. The indoor room must be kept ventilated, dry, tidy and hygienic.
2. Soften dirt and remove ear mites.
Next, prepare vegetable oil, cotton swabs, toilet paper, ear drops for dogs and other items. If the ear hair is thick, you can help the dog clean the ear mites. You can first use ear powder, ear hair pliers, etc. to clean the lower ear hair, then pull out some ear hair, and then dip a cotton swab in vegetable oil to soften the hard dirt on the ear wall. Never start to get started, so as not to hurt the dog.
After removing dirt in the ear wall, add a small amount of ear drops into the ear canal, rub the ear drops evenly so that the ear drops are distributed evenly in the ear canal. After half a minute, the dirt can be released, so that the dog can actively shake off the dirt, and finally wipe it clean with a soft tissue.
3. Strengthen nutrition and take good precautions.
The nursing work of dog ears is best to consolidate within 1-2 weeks, and it is necessary to clean regularly in the future to keep the ear hygienic and prevent secondary infection. When bathing a dog, it is best to use cotton balls or ear cuffs to protect the ear canal to avoid water from entering the ear canal. The humid ear canal environment is prone to breed mites.
If you want your dog to get better quickly, you should also give the dog appropriate nutrition, such as canned food, nutritional cream, Wang Xiang goat milk powder, coarse grains, fruits and vegetables, etc., to help the dog increase nutrition and improve its physical fitness, so that ear mites will not easily attack.
