West Highland White, Ears Cleaning
Gently clean with a
cotton tipped cotton balls, work
well around the entrance to the ear canal. Don't put any pressure inside
the ear, if you cant see anything, then don't go deeper. Hydrogen
peroxide, which is sometimes recommended, should be avoided if excess
moisture is a problem. Take note of any materials in and around the ear
canal, particularly excess wax. A dark wax may be a sign of ear mites, while
a pus-like, foul smelling discharge may be coming from an infection.
Infections can result from yeast or bacteria that thrive in the canals
because of the near-perfect conditions;
- Moisture
- Poor air circulation
- Warmth
- Darkness
Remember an allergy can be anywhere on the skin but
sometimes it is manifested and most noticeable, in the feet and in the ears.
