How to clean corgi's ears

Corgi, these cute pets come from the fairy tale world. With their round buttocks, short limbs, and a pair of big ears that are always flexible and erect, they easily capture our hearts. Those ears are not only a sign of corgi's unique appearance, but also like small radars, always catching the movement around. However, it is precisely these striking ears that require special attention and careful care from us. When we gently stroked corgi's ears and watched them squint comfortably, we felt a strong sense of responsibility - we must protect the health of these lovely ears. So, how on earth should corgi's ears be cleaned? This question, bearing our full love for corgi, also requires us to use professional knowledge to seriously explore the answer.

Corgi's ears belong to the standing ear type. Compared with large and droopy ears, they have good ventilation, but that doesn't mean they won't have ear problems. Corgi's ear canal is L-shaped, and this special structure makes dirt and water easy to accumulate deep in the ear canal. In addition, corgi is active and often outdoors. His ears are easily contaminated with dust, bacteria, parasites, etc. If not cleaned in time, these dirt will become a hotbed for bacteria and fungi to breed, causing ear infection and great pain to corgi.

Before cleaning corgi's ears, we should make full preparations. Firstly, choose appropriate ear cleaning products. Pet specific ear cleaning solution is the first choice. This type of cleaning solution is gentle and non irritating, which can effectively dissolve dirt in the ear canal and inhibit the growth of bacteria and fungi. In addition, cotton balls or soft gauze should be prepared for wiping the ears. Never use a cotton swab, because the head of the swab is hard, which may damage corgi's delicate ear canal and eardrum.

Before cleaning, keep corgi relaxed. You can first gently stroke its head and body, speak softly to it, and let it feel your care and security. When corgi's mood is stable, gently open his ear and observe the situation in the ear canal. Under normal circumstances, corgi's ear canal should be clean, dry and light pink. If there is black or brown secretion in the ear canal with peculiar smell, or corgi scratches his ear frequently and shakes his head, it may be that there is something wrong with his ear, which needs to be cleaned more carefully, and he should consider taking him to the vet.

Next, drop an appropriate amount of ear cleaning solution into corgi's ear canal. Generally speaking, 3-5 drops per ear are sufficient. After dripping, gently massage the root of corgi's ear for 1-2 minutes. Through massage, the cleaning solution can fully contact the dirt inside the ear canal, softening and dissolving it. During the massage process, you may hear a "gurgling" sound coming from the ear canal, which is a normal phenomenon and indicates that the cleaning solution is working.

After the massage, gently wipe the external auditory canal of corgi's ear with a cotton ball or gauze. Starting from the base of the ear, wipe along the direction of the ear canal from the inside out. Pay attention to gentle movements to avoid damaging the ear canal. If there is a lot of dirt, you can replace it with a new cotton ball or gauze and wipe it repeatedly until the ear canal is clean. During the wiping process, always observe the dirt on the cotton ball or gauze and corgi's reaction. If corgi shows pain or discomfort, stop cleaning immediately and take him to the vet.

The frequency of cleaning corgi's ears is also important. Generally speaking, cleaning 1-2 times a week is sufficient. But if corgi is often outdoors, or his ears tend to accumulate dirt, he needs to increase the cleaning frequency appropriately. After corgi takes a bath, he should also clean his ears in time, because water is easy to remain in the ear canal, breeding bacteria.

In addition to daily cleaning, we should also pay attention to the health of corgi's ears. Regularly check your ears for any abnormal conditions such as redness, swelling, damage, and increased secretion. If you find that corgi has a problem with his ear, don't take medicine by yourself, but take him to the vet in time. Veterinarians will conduct professional examinations to determine the cause of ear problems and provide corresponding treatment plans.

After corgi cleaned his ears, he returned to his lovely and lively appearance, and his ears shook smartly. Our hearts were filled with joy. Every time we clean corgi's ears, we show our deep love for him. We use professional care to protect corgi's ear health, so that they can listen to the beautiful voice of the world and accompany us through one warm day after another. Because corgi has given us endless joy and companionship. They are the most precious family members in our life. They deserve all our love, protect their health everywhere, and write warm and beautiful stories between us and them.
