Zara

Morning guys woke up this morning with Zara having a sore ear and shaking her head like mad so cleaned it going to have to clean it again she hates getting her ears done, she runs away and hides from me little madam.

Anyway once i have cleaned it and got all the gunk do any of you have any remedies that i can put on her ear as its red   

Awww poor Zara   

Keira suffers from one dirty ear   im always cleaning it    
Its    cant believe how dirty it gets so quickly   
I just use the ear cleaner i get from the vets tissues and cotton buds   
If she scratches and makes her ear bleed i just tend to dab it with some kitchen towel soaked in really cold water   
I always have to try and distract her from scratching it   

yeah going to clean it again this evening its horrid...

she seems to of settled down a bit now thankfully.

Keiras ear has been terrible today      
I only noticed she was shaking her head and twitching her ear alot after i read your post earlier   
I only cleaned it a few days ago but it was really dirty again so ive cleaned it but its really been annoying her this afternoon  
she keeps scratching it and has managed to make it start bleeding    
I might take her to the vets and get them to have a look at it again   
We had a good spell when it went ages before needing cleaned but just lately her ear is black every other day     She does like rolling about and rubbing her head on the grass  
  it makes me wonder if shes picked up some kind of mite    but then again its only one ear she has a problem with  
Were Zaras ears dirty   

was going to take a pic and post but decided to gross.....  

As you lift her ear back its a bit red today no where as red as it was yesterday yes very dirty.

Hows Keiras today?

Excellent for sore ears. Available on e-bay and Amazon.

oh will have look thanks

I use The stuff i got from the vets called Virbac    

Shes been fine this afternoon    no scratching atm    and she hasnt been out in the garden rolling about today   
I know her ear will be full of dirt again within a few days   
I think she just gets loads of wax in that one ear    the other one is always clean  
Shes had this problem since she was a pup    
She makes it worse when she scratches and makes it bleed   

Thornit

I've used this once any irritation has been removed its really soothing and when Brogan had excema it really eased it and helped always have it in now

If its any conciliation hun all of mine run a mile if they know i'm after cleaning their ears!!!

I'm always wary of putting wet solutions in dogs ears incase they've got an infection, I find it always makes it worse ....

  Hows Zara doing now Lorz   

I took Keira to the vets today to get her ear looked at and came back £87 lighter   
Mind you i did get some advocate for both the dogs aswell so that was £30 odd of the bill

I came out with some Otomax for her ear and he also gave her an injection to stop the irritation

I cleaned it when i got home and cant believe how much wax has built up since i cleaned it the other day  

  this sorts her ear out  

yeah she gave in and let me clean it and seems to be ok but same as you can see it building up again.....very   

Any progress hun? Did you buy anything to help?

Same as Shelley, Thornit, its in a powder form but more gritty, Bryn used to be always scratching his ears until I started using it, it lasts forever as well. I also use it after I have taken the hair from inside Ellies ears to ensure she doesn't get an infection (tip from a groomer for little dogs with hairy ears)

You should invest in some thornit Hun.... Amazing stuff

  might just do that   
I cleaned her ear out again yesterday   it was    again

and Mickey has nibbled on his back all night so hes not a happy boy this morning with a hotspot    you would think he would learn the amount he has   
OH went and bought him an elizabethan collar from pets at home first thing this morning before going to work

I think Mickey was relieved when he saw it and wanted it on asap   
  hes the only dog i know who actually likes wearing one   
Atleast hes got a nice blue one this time    his last one was pink   

think i will look into that myself...

I can't recommend it enough

Fred was back and forth to the vets for months with his ears, it was costing a fortune.... Thornit soon sorted it

you gotta love mickey!!!

The little s**t got the collar off so hes made his back worse overnight  
Hes such a chewer once he gets started   

Ive had to zip tie the collar on now so he doesnt pop the clips open again   

Hows he doing Bren? be the death of us these dogs.......

Honestly, get some Thornit, it cheap and will last ages, nothing to lose if she doesn't get on with it but a marvel for us with dogs that do.
