Dogs are the most loyal companions of human beings. Many people like to raise dogs, but raising dogs also requires us to do relevant health care. Sometimes the dog's ears will become inflamed and bleed due to various reasons. What should we do at this time?
1. Observe the dog's ear condition. If you find that the dog keeps scratching his ears with his front legs, or shakes his head, has redness, swollen ears, and has a odor, then its ears are likely to have become inflamed and pus.
At this time, we need to observe carefully to determine whether there are other situations.
2. Cleaning the dog's ears When cleaning the dog's ears, the first thing to do is to make sure our hands and medicines are clean to prevent infection.
Dip the cotton swab in the dog's ear cleaning solution, start from the dog's ear canal opening, and then gently wipe the ear shell.
Be careful not to hurt the dog's eardrum, and do not use cotton swabs to enter the depths of the ear canal.
3. Use ear therapy drugs If the dog's ears are severely inflamed and bleed, ear therapy drugs are required.
Before using medication for the dog, you need to clean the dog's ears.
When taking medication, you need to carefully read the usage and dosage in the packaging instructions to avoid overdose or improper use of the drug.
If you are not sure about the use of the drug or are afraid to give medication to your dog, it is best to consult a veterinarian.
4. Stay dry During the treatment of inflammation and pus in the dog's ears, we need to keep its ears dry.
You can use cotton balls to wipe the moisture inside the ears to avoid moisture retention and cause earwax and other problems.
5. Enhance immunity The stronger the immunity of a dog, the more it can resist various bacteria and viruses.
Therefore, we should pay attention to strengthening the dog's immunity, appropriately increase exercise, maintain a balanced diet, and often take the dog out for a walk.
In short, inflammation and pus in dogs' ears are a common problem. If not dealt with in time, it will cause discomfort to the dog or even seriously affect their health.
Therefore, in the process of raising dogs, we need to pay more attention to it, discover problems in a timely manner and deal with them to avoid greater trouble.
