Ears

Post by Lizpart »

Hi
Any advice on what to use on the inside of dogs ear flaps. Ears are clean but the flaps are fairly sore from brambles and quite dry.

I use hibiscrub and warm water to wash them and then I rub Sudocrem or Aloe Vera gel (depending on whether they're sore or sore and hot).

A vet nurse did tell me that iodine solution would be better as it doesn't sting if the cuts are fresh, but that iodine is very dangerous if it accidentally goes down the ear canal. I play safe with the hibiscrub.

Sudocrem is good but iodine stings like f***!

Aloe Vera (fresh from the plant is best) ... brilliant stuff!
