First, gently pluck the hair around the Shetland dog's ears with your hands, pull up the auricle, dip some glycerin with a cotton swab, apply it on the Shetland dog's external ear canal, and then pinch the Shetland dog's ears with your hands for massage. Pump the base of the ears to spread the oil evenly in the Shetland dog's ears, and finally wipe them clean with a cotton swab or small cotton ball.
2. Excessive and hard earwax. You must first use alcohol cotton balls to disinfect the outer ear canal, and then use 3% sodium bicarbonate ear drops or 2% boric acid water. It is best to go to a pet hospital to buy special pet ear drops, drop them on the earwax, and wait for the earwax to soften. , and then gently take it out with tweezers. Note that the tweezers should not be inserted too deep. Dog ears are very delicate, so please be careful when cleaning. At this time, you need to be highly focused. If the Shetland dog hesitates to head, take out the tweezers quickly to avoid puncturing the saturation membrane or puncture the ear canal mucosa.
3. Ear inflammation. For ear canals with inflammation, it is best to go to a pet hospital to buy specialized anti-inflammatory ear drops, such as 4% boric acid glycerin ear drops, 2.5% chloramphenicol glycerin ear drops, cortisone neomycin ear drops, etc. Use anti-inflammatory ear drops in the ears, three times a day, two to three drops at a time. Pull up the Shetland dog's ears, let the ear drops flow deep into the ear, and then massage gently with your hands to help the absorption of the medicine. In less serious cases, you can use chloramphenicol eye drops instead. If you don't see improvement, you should go to the doctor immediately.
