I just picked up tissues and the ear cleaner. He immediately backed into a corner and gave me his very best RSPCA look. But when I looked at his ear, it was fine! Didn't need cleaning at all. So I told him 'good boy!' and let him go and he was dancing around the room like a kid at Christmas! Bless him!

Anyone ever used ear canker powder on their pets? I'd rather not have to go back to the vet every time he gets it and I can buy the Thornit powder on the internet for £8. Which is a heck of a lot cheaper than a vet visit! Plus it means I can treat it myself at the first sign of it and his ears won't get so sore.

Rasta doggy seems to get ear problems from time to time, due, I'm sure, to her habit of rolling in unspeakable yuks such as coypu poo. I have to squirt a lotion down her ear then massage it and hold her for a minute or two and then use a finger covered in kitchen towel to clean out the resulting muck. Charming.
I usually manage this by myself as long as I sneak up on her. If she sees me and the bottle approaching she's off. She's been to the hairdresser today and that means having her ear innards plucked and trimmed but no histrionics as I'm not there. When the vet does it in my presence cos he needs to see in there we get the full operatic performance.

That's the charming thing I have to do as well. If I get close enough to him. This morning he was stood in the corner but held his head to the left and very near the floor! It was impossible to squirt the liquid in. So I squirted it onto the tissue and just used that.

Our old black lab used to get ear canker from time to time ... seemed worse in hot weather ... I’m afraid the drops seemed to be the only thing that worked. We tried to keep his ears clean by wiping with saline solution between episodes but never sure whether it actually did any good or not. Good luck.
