I usually just use a QTip after their baths, but I have also used some hydrogen peroxide to dampen the QTip if I find a dirty ear. They are usually pretty clean, but occasionally I have gotten some gunk on the QTip. That is when I follow up with a couple more QTips dipped in hydrogen peroxide. I have never bought the commercial ear cleaners. This is for a good healthy ear and not to be used as an inner ear wash. If you need to go beyond where you can see, I suggest getting a vet recommended ear wash solution.
I use a lot of hydrogen peroxide. It is a great wound cleaner, mouth wash, disinfectant, cleaner, toothbrush cleaner you name it! I like using vinegar, baking soda, and hydrogen peroxide whenever I can instead of all the commercial chemicals. They work just as good or better and are much better for the environment and living things! |
