I'm not sure if my dog had an ear infection or a ruptured eardrum, but I took him to the vet and they gave me ear drops and antibiotics. The problem is that he hates it and growls at me when I try to put the liquid in his ear. What can I do about his behavior problem??!!

there are some medications that are only once a day. Also, your veterinarian may have a medication they can apply for you that last two weeks....call them.

@VetVid My mom bought me a pet & told me to make sure i clean it's ears properly & i found the perfect video. but, if my puppy doesn't have an ear infection , do i still pour the liquid down it's ears like you did at 1:50 ?

most dogs need there ears cleaned routinely. The frequency depends on how fast they accumulate wax. Always best to ask your veterinarian.

They shake their head and you can wipe off the wax:)

Sounds like a painful infection. Look for add in local paper or online for a free initial exam. Many veterinarians offer coupons for new clients. Your dog likely needs medical attention.

Whoops I used q tips

[rshf22]

Actually I think your demonstration is wrong. When you clean the top areas with a cotton ball, it is better to do it from bottom up (towards the ear's tip), and not from the tip down (as you do), in order to avoid stuffing some dirt down the ear towards the canal.

Karen, Try using Fingear Mini Mitts. The liquid will naturally flow into your dog's ear as you clean and massage them.

Did you say let them shake their head? or don't let them?
