on 6/6/2009 Good instructions. Also important for dogs with cocker-type ears: when you bathe the dog, gently stuff cotton balls into their ears to prevent excess water from entering their ear canals. Dogs with cocker-type ear flaps are highly susceptible to "swimmer's ear" (yeast infections of the ear) because the ear flap impedes drying.

on 6/6/2009 With cockers, you have to get the cleaner deep in the canal and massage the base of their ear for 60 seconds; then you have to apply drying powder.

on 6/6/2009 I always clean my dogs ears. The ear wash is key in the process. I always get the ear wash solution from my vet.

on 6/6/2009 My vet suggested this method too. She also gave me the tip that my dog (who hates having his ears cleaned) needs extra encouragement (talking to him in a happy voice) when I am doing this, and some sort of reward after. These suggestions helped a lot too.
