    @IceQeen1011 So sorry to hear that. The Veterinarian may suggest sedation at the vet hospital for a thorough cleaning. There are injectable and oral antibiotics if bacteria, there are oral anti-yeast pills if yeast infection present. Also, there are once a day meds which may help get through this important treatment. Have vet confirm infection is gone before stopping treatment. Please discuss with your own vet for final advice.

    Yes, vinager and water is safe. With any infection, have the vet check to see that the "ear drum" is intact.

      @@TalonNismo This depends on a variety of scenarios not limited to, Is there an infection? Bacteria? Yeast? Just debris? Patient temperament? Many times it may be oral or systemic treatment vs topical.

    most dogs need there ears cleaned routinely. The frequency depends on how fast they accumulate wax. Always best to ask your veterinarian.

    @VenisonFajitas Great questions. Many infections are deep and not visualized without an otoscope. Food or environmental allergies can play a role. Please contact your veterinarian for an exam to look into the ears. Bad dental tartar can also make the head smell.

    Any gentle cleaner for routine cleaning. If your Golden Ret. requirs frequent cleaning, your veterinarian may want to perform a cytology and/or culture to determine the type of medication and cleaner. There are different types of cleaners if yeast or bacteria are present. Also, ALLERGIES are one of the most common reasons dogs get reoccuring infections. Check with your veterinarian.

    Thanks for the reply. The 70% alcholo is actually that's what one vet recommended (even in times of ear infection), though another has recommended a commercial solution. Is there another product you would recommend for a Golden Retriever that requires frequent ear cleaning?

    @VetVid My mom bought me a pet & told me to make sure i clean it's ears properly & i found the perfect video. but, if my puppy doesn't have an ear infection , do i still pour the liquid down it's ears like you did at 1:50 ?

    hey vetvid what about dogs with hair grown in the ear do you trim of pluck the hair?

  • @VetVid
    @VetVid  13 років тому +1

    @ChannelEden At 14 yrs old, it may be a normal aging process resulting in becoming deaf. The q-tips can be a problem if your pet jumps and you injure the ear drum. Vinegar and water should be safe. You probably did not do anything wrong.

  • @VetVid

    there are some medications that are only once a day. Also, your veterinarian may have a medication they can apply for you that last two weeks....call them.

  • @VetVid
    @VetVid  13 років тому +2

    @ChannelEden you must take your dog to the veterinarian to figure out what type of infection, ie bacterial, yeast, mites, etc. Only your veterinarian can prescribe the appropriate medication. He or She can also prescribe a cleaner that is most effective for the type of maintainance for your pet.

    Hi, you say in your video that you shouldn't pour anything down the ear canal, but isn't that the way most cleaners work? If not, you're just getting the debris on the surface and not the debris down in the ear canal. There are a few other vets on UA-cam demonstrating the ear cleaning and they pour the liquid down in the ear canal, now I don't know what to do?

NO, the vet wouldn't let him slide on the 2 bucks.. He had to sign dog over to them until he came up wit hte 2 bucks....... they wanted him to take meds home, but he just paid for cleaning, which in my opinion from what i saw here, cost way too much..... that vet was a crook....
