How to clean Chihuahua’s ears? First check whether there are any abnormalities in Chihuahua’s ears besides earwax. If there are any abnormalities, it is recommended to seek medical advice first. Before cleaning Chihuahua’s ears, prepare relevant cleaning tools, such as ear hair powder, ear hair plucking scissors, and cotton swabs. Wait; after stabilizing the Chihuahua, sprinkle some ear powder into the ear canal, and after a few minutes start plucking the Chihuahua's ear hair.
The first step is to check the condition of the Chihuahua’s ears. Look for parasites in the ear area and smell its ears to see if there is any odor coming out. Remember, it is normal to have a small amount of earwax accumulation. If a large amount of earwax is found in your Chihuahua's ears, and it is reddish-brown, streaky, and has a peculiar smell, in this case, it would be better to take your Chihuahua to see a doctor first.
The second step is to prepare relevant supplies before officially caring for the Chihuahua’s ears. Such as ear hair powder, ear hair plucking scissors, cotton swabs, etc.
The third step is to stabilize the Chihuahua’s body, sprinkle some ear powder into its ear canal, and after a minute or two, help it pluck its ear hair first. Note that you can use ear hair tweezers to pluck the ear hair of your Chihuahua, and you can only pull out one ear hair at a time to avoid pain in your Chihuahua.
Step 4: After plucking the ear hair, add a few drops of cleaning solution or mineral oil into the Chihuahua’s ears. Massage the base of the ears, apply pressure on the ears for a minute, and then use a cotton swab to carefully clean the earwax in the dog's ear canal to clean the Chihuahua's ear canal.
Note: If you are caring for the ears of a long-haired Chihuahua, you should also use scissors to trim the hair around the ears to ensure that the ear canal can be ventilated and kept dry to prevent the breeding and accumulation of ear mites and dust. Ensure that your Chihuahua’s ears are healthy and odor-free.
