Do you own a Basset Hound or other canine breed? If so, did you know that it’s recommended that you check and clean your pup’s ears frequently to make sure they are clean and clear of wax and other debris. Basset Hounds are known to have some of the longest ears in the canine world. This makes keeping them clean all the more important as they often drag their ears on the ground and in the dirt? If your Basset enjoys playing in the water then make sure you dry his ears well so as not to cause irritation or infection. Your vet may recommend using an ear drying solution in your Basset’s ears to help dry up water especially if your Basset is prone to ear infections. Watch out for ear discharge, a bad smell, redness, swelling, crusty skin, and hair loss in the ears. Always consult with your pet clinic Raleigh, NC before cleaning y9our dog’s ears. Learn more here.
