a dogs ear drum is bend at a 90 degree angle so if the dog is sitting still and not fidgeting then you can clean to your hearts content without worrying. however if you have a bouncy puppy and no one to help you help the head steady then i wouldn't use q-tips. with the bouncing and moving around and you pulling on the ear you might be able to get the ear canal at an angle where the q-tip can reach the canal. You can use a q-tip to get at the outer folds tho, and use a warm cotton ball to sweep out the rest of the stuff.
