Things You'll Need
- Towel
- Cotton gauze
- Hydrogen peroxide
- Ear cleanse pad
Instructions
Place your cat in your lap, swaddled in a towel. Hold the tip of the cat's ear between your thumb and forefinger.
Fold the ear gently backwards. Look for any signs of redness, soreness or unusual colored wax. Normal wax should be light brown. If the wax is red or black, you should get your cat checked out by a veterinarian.
Wipe the wax off the hair on your cat's ear with a cotton gauze, dampened with two drops of hydrogen peroxide or a ear cleanse pad for cats.
Wet a clean cotton gauze and wipe again until all the wax is removed from off the cat's hair.
