Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / September 2005ears
Hi all, My cat's ears are very dirty inside. What is the best way to clean them. I tried with a cotton ball, but it's way down and yucky looking. thanks also, she's not crazy about having her nails clipped. I get one here and there;; they're very long. any advise..i do have the proper clippers thanks > Hi all, > My cat's ears are very dirty inside. What is the best way to clean them.

Squirt a little in the ear and rub at the base of the ear to distribute the liquid and hopefully loosen up some of the gook. Wipe with a cotton ball. You can use a q-tip to clean out the folds in the ear but don't insert the q-tip to any place you can't see. Has the vet checked her ears to make sure she doesn't have mites? If not take her to get the ears checked and have the vet clean the worst of it out of the ears. OTOH some cats just build up a lot of wax. As for the nails, if you can get one here and one there then just make sure you get one or two a day in rotation and you'll get them all often enough. I like the clippers that look like small scissors http://www.petsmart.com/global/product_detail.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=8455244417 77735&FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=2534374302033731&ASSORTMENT%3C%3East_id=253437430202 3690&bmUID=1127557116831 Wendy If you take the cat to the vet for the ears, have the vet clip the claws for you. ---MIKE--- >>In the White Mountains of New Hampshire >> (44° 15' N - Elevation 1580') Very dirty ears are often a sign of ear mites. I would have a vet check them out before you go any further. Rhonda > Hi all, > My cat's ears are very dirty inside. What is the best way to clean them.
