Dog Ear Infections
I have a Labrador Retriever (10 years old) who has had problems with his ears.
If I rub his left ear I can hear a squishy sound. Which in the past has indicated something is going on there. This is such a problem for him that we rarely let him go swiming because of the ear infection issue.
I have been to the vets many times on this. I cleaned his ears yesterday by putting the clening liguid in his ears and wiping the excess out with a cotton balls and swabs.
He had to be put under for something else a couple years ago, and they deep cleaned his ears then and that worked great.
Short of that has anyone got any experience with any ear cleaner that dries the ear up better, or a differnt technique?

Well he has had his first dose of hydrogen Peroxide. His ear is slightly less squishy.
He did not mind it a bit.
What would be a reasonable repeat cycle?

Thanks Murf,
KoKo thanks you for this info! That seems to match the drill I have sued when I was using the stuff from the vet.
Thanks,
Dennis

AC5ZO,
Thanks for the helpful information.
It does seem that KoKO is exhibiting some of the side effects that Murf mentioned nonetheless.
Please see Pix number 10 in my Album ;>(.

k9fletch,
Yes I usually rub that area but I think I need to work at it a little better. And I am going to try to get his ears flapped back to help it dry out. Those big floppy ears are on of his main problems in drying out.
We are trying one of my daughters elastic headbands to hold his ears back. We are up to ten minutes so far, I guess we will just have to see.

The treatments do not seem to be working, his ear seems squishier than when I started.
And his head feels a little hot to me.
I think he is off to the vet.
We put him on expensive supposedly non allergic feeds like sweet potato, lamb and rice, chicken and rice etc.. for a couple of years now and I don't see a difference for the ears.
Dennis
