How to clean the ears of an Otterhound? Everyone knows that dogs’ ears are prone to ear mites and other problems if they are not taken care of, so the ears should be cleaned frequently. The following editor will introduce to you how to care for the ears of an Otterhound.

Otterhound ear care procedures:

1. The ear canal is relatively clean. If the Odda Hound's earwax is not too serious, it will not be difficult to clean it up. You can first use your hands to push aside the hair around the Otter Hound's ears, then pull up the auricle, dip some glycerin into a cotton swab, apply it on the Otter Hound's external auditory canal, and then gently massage the entire Otter Hound's ears with your hands. Disperse the oil that has entered the Odda Hound's ears, and finally use a cotton swab to insert into the ear canal and wipe it clean.

2. Excessive and hard earwax. If your Odda Hound's earwax is not only excessive, but also condensed into hard lumps that are difficult to clean, then disinfect the entire auricle with alcohol first, then go to the pet hospital to buy special ear drops for pets, drop them on the earwax lumps, and wait for the earwax to soften. Afterwards, just use tweezers to gently take out the earwax. However, parents should be careful not to insert the tweezers too deep, because the dog’s ears are very delicate, so be careful when cleaning them. That’s why parents need to pay attention. And if you see the Otterhound struggling a little, you should take out the tweezers quickly to avoid puncturing the Otterhound's eardrum.

3. There is inflammation in the ears. If your Otterhound's ears are still inflamed, it's best to go to the pet hospital to buy special anti-inflammatory ear drops and use them according to the doctor's instructions, including the dosage and usage instructions. Parents first pull up the ears of the Odda Hound, then drip ear drops into the ears, and then gently massage them with their hands to promote the absorption of the medicine.
