๐พEarโ We Go! ๐
If your dog's ears have a strong, unpleasant odor, it's time to pay attention! A bad smell could be a sign of an ear infection. ๐ถ๐
Long-eared dogs, like Cocker Spaniels, Basset Hounds, and Dachshunds, are especially prone to ear infections due to moisture, dirt, and bacteria that can get trapped in their floppy ears. It's essential to keep their ears clean and dry to prevent problems.
๐ก Tips for healthy ears:
๐๐ผIf you notice a foul odor, redness, or discomfort, schedule a vet visit!
๐ฆKeep those ears dry, especially after swimming or baths. Gently dry them off after your dog takes a dip in the water.
๐Regularly check for wax buildup or signs of irritation.
๐พUse a vet-approved ear cleaner to gently wipe out dirt and wax. Don't use cotton swabs inside the ear canal, as this can push debris further in.
