Instructions
Measure ¼ of a cup of isopropyl alcohol and add about 10 to 12 drops of glycerin. Isopropyl alcohol and glycerin ca both be purchased in a pharmacy.
Mix the ingredients well and let them stand for about 15 minutes. The glycerin will slightly thicken the alcohol.
Take the corner of a clean, dry rag and twist it.
Dip the twisted end into the isopropyl alcohol and glycerin mixture.
Gently push the twisted corner of the rag into your dog's ear and swab. Do not use cotton swabs inside of the ear canal because you can injury your dog by puncturing his ear drum. If you use cotton swabs for any part of the cleaning only use them on the outside of the ear canal in the folds.
Twist another corner of the clean, dry rag swab again.
Sprinkle drying powder into his ear to prevent infection and ear mites. Drying powder is available at pet stores.
