Also, Q-tips should never be inserted into a dogs ears. Use a cotton ball. You only need to clean as far as you can see. A Q-tip will go deeper and could damage an ear drum. |
Good point about the Q-tips. I was just going to post that. My vet said never use Q-tips because it buries the wax deep in there and can cause damage to the ear drum.
