How To Clean a Cat's Ears
By Franny Syufy, About.com Guide
You may need to clean your cat's ears as a preliminary to administering medication for mites, or just as a part
of regular grooming.
Difficulty: Easy
Time Required: 10 minutes
Here's How:
1.Assemble supplies: olive oil or commercial ear cleaner, cotton balls, container for water
2.Warm the olive oil or ear cleaner to body temperature by placing the container in a warm pan of water.
3.Place the cat on a table or counter.
4.Put a drop or two of the liquid into the round opening of the ear canal.
5.Gently massage the base of the ear for at least a minute, to work the liquid around.
6.Repeat steps 4 and 5 with the other ear.
7.Leave your cat alone for 5 minutes. He'll do a great deal of head shaking, which will dislodge dirt and move
it into the outer ear canal.
8.After 5 minutes, use clean cotton balls to wipe away oil and dirt from the ear.
9.Give your cat a treat for being so good.
Tips:
1.Use the same techniques for administering medication to the ears, with the exception of steps 2 and 8.
What You Need:
•Olive oil or ear cleaner
•Cotton Balls
•Container for warm water
•Plastic eye-dropper
