| Sparky got ear infection My Sparky got ear infection, I don't know how, neither did my vet. However, vet asked me to put some kind of drop to his ear twice a day. Sparky hates it so much, and crys when we put drop into his ear. His hair becomes very oily, and I don't dare to give his another bath as he got ear infection. Do you guys have any ideas to clean his hair without touching his ear? |

| Maybe you can wipe him down with the puppy wipes...I think you can get them at Petsmart. |

| My yorkie has an ear infection too! She was scratching at it so hard she made herself bleed. The vet said it was from not pluckiong the hair inside the ears. Something about the hair captures moisture and bacteria. So you are supposed to have it plucked. Well the vet plucked it then & there and since her ears already hurt she screamed but I heard it get easier to do with time. I also have to put drops in her ear twice a day which I have to wrestle her down to do it so I know what you are going thru. The vet told me to put cotton balls in her ear when I bathe her so she doesnt get water in them to avoid this problem again.

also - they sell ear cleaners that you can use on a regular basis that keeps any debris or buildup from staying in their ears - You can GENTLY use cotton swabs to clean their ears but never stick them in too far - and the ear hair plucking will help tons keeping your baby from getting another infection. | |
