| Best way to clean ears Hello all, Uno turned 12 weeks today and I need to clean his ears. He has a little bit of buildup since I last washed them last week, but i'm not sure what the best way to do it is...With his small ears I feel like i'm going to hurt him!!! What do you guys use to clean your pups ears well? I want to get deep down but don't want to risk damaging anything help?? p.s. when I cleaned them before I took a puppy-bath cloth and cut it into a small square and just cleaned his ear that way... |

| ears I just use a cotton ball i lossen it up and tear some off, instead of the whole thing. I have purchased an ear cleaning solution that i squirt on the cotton ball and away i go. Its safe and can't go to deep and zeus doesn't seem to mind. I also stuff his ears with one when its bath time to prevent ear build up. |

| I just use OtiCalm recommended by my vet and squirt it in his ears once a week after bath and massage the base of his ears and then just let him shake and wipe whatever excess liquid that came out with damp cloth then dry cloth as he hates it. I never try to use anythign that goes in deep in to his ears-I only trust my vet and groomer in doing that.

| I use the same thing. I squirt a little in the ear, and wipe it out with a cotton ball.
