| Cleaning Inside the Ear How often do you clean inside the ear canel? I have some cleaning solution is this something that should be done every week with regular baths? Remmy has floppy ears and has never had a problem with debris in his ears. |

| I will use the towel I’m drying her with after a bath to get in the ear as best I can, but I leave the deep cleaning to her groomer. I’m afraid of hurting her with Q-tips so I’ve never used one on her. She get's a bath every week and a trip to the groomer's every six.

| Sorry, that's one thing I leave up to the groomer. I do kinda wipe the ear out with a towel after bath but that's about it.

| I clean Twinkie's ears everytime she has a bath (so once a week). After her bath, while she is still wet I drop the cleaner down her ear canal and fold her ear down & smush it around, then I wipe them with a cotton ball. This way her ears are always clean & if you do it when they are wet, then all the cleaner that they shake out of their ears will get dried with the hair dryer.
