EAR CARE
| 
Check your puppy's ears regularly to make sure that they are not dirty and that no infection is present, especially if you have a drop-eared puppy. A small amount of brown, waxy substance is normal. If you see excessive wax in the ear canals or the ears have a discharge or smell bad, contact your veterinarian. Your puppy may have a bacterial or yeast infection, and she may need medication. How to Clean Your Puppy's Ears To clean your puppy's ears, get an ear cleanser from your veterinarian or pet supply store. Do not use alcohol because it is too harsh and could be painful. Dampen a cotton ball or cloth with ear cleanser, and gently wipe the inside of the ear flaps. Don't insert cotton-tipped swabs into the ear canal, or you could push bacteria and debris farther down into the ear canal. This can cause an infection.
