Comment prendre soin des oreilles de votre chien
Although your dog's ears need to be reguarly cared for and monitored by your vet, it is quite simple to keep them clean and healthy yourself. This is especially important because it's not uncommon for parasites, bacteria or yeast to hide in the inner ear and cause plenty of pain and discomfort. It is also easy for dirt to become trapped in the ear due to the way dog's ears are shaped, trapping debris which can cause allergies and infections. Cocker spaniels, basset hounds and poodles are particularly vulnerable, due to their adorable floppy ears.
To reduce infections or allergies, ear checks should be a regular part of your dog's grooming regime. If you take your dog to a groomer, ask them to pay special attention to their ears. However if you groom your dog yourself and their ears look dirty, clean them using a doggy ear cleaner on a dampened cotton ball. This is delicate enough on their skin so it won't cause any irritations and is very effective at cleaning the ears very well.
Si votre chien a des oreilles poilues et vous pouvez voir que certains poils ont germé à partir du canal auditif, vous pouvez demander à votre toiletteur de tweeze-les ou simplement les couper à une longueur qui ne mat ou enchevêtrement. Il n'est pas recommandé que vous essayez de tweezing eux vous-même car il peut être inconfortable pour votre animal de compagnie et vous ne voudriez pas lui ou elle d'associer cette douleur avec vous.
If your dog is a frequent swimmer you may have noticed that post-swim their ears are irritated, which could mean some water has gotten into the ear. To prevent this from happening, dry your pooch's ears thoroughly using a cotton cloth. If you don't, it may lead to ear infections which can be painful.
