Things You'll Need
- Tweezers or hemostat
- Cotton swab
- Rubbing alcohol
- Bacterium-inhibiting powder
Instructions
Grab three or four long hairs that lead into the dog's ear with tweezers or a hemostat. Yank the hairs firmly to remove them. Pluck a few hairs out at a time until the ear canal is mostly free of hair.
Dip a cotton swab in rubbing alcohol. Place the swab in as far as it will go without using force and gently twirl it around in the ear, replacing it with a clean swab as needed. Spread the rubbing alcohol around until the cotton swab comes out clean when pulled from the ear.
Hold the tip of a bacterium-inhibiting powder bottle an inch from the dog's ear and squeeze powder into it.
