How to use Bioline ear care?

Though often overlooked, ear care and cleaning in dogs and cats are as important as in humans. Ear cleaning is an essential part of regular grooming regarding the physical and mental well-being of dogs and cats. Keeping their ears clean from the inside can help avoid excessive wax, dirt, or debris accumulation inside the ear. If their ears are not cleaned for a long period, the bacterial and fungal growth can lead to discomfort, serious infections and even hearing loss.

Pet experts and veterinarians recommend cleaning the ears of dogs and cats every 2 weeks and 2 months respectively. When it comes to grooming (including ear cleaning) the most crucial aspect is to select a pet-specific product. That's where Bioline ear cleaner comes in, a very efficient, highly effective, and user-friendly method for cleaning your dog or cat's ears.

Now, if you just learned that your fluffy friend also needs ear cleaning or looking for a reliable ear-cleaning product, you have landed on the right page.

How to use Bioline ear care? (Step By Step Guide On-Ear Cleaning)

Step 1: Before you start the actual cleaning process, make sure to arrange all the necessary items required for efficient ear cleaning. You need a Bioline Ear Care solution, cotton gauze or balls, towels, and treats for this. Remember that using cotton swabs is not recommended because they can push the wax deeper into the ear canal. 

Step 2: Once you have all the necessary supplies in hand, select a noise-free and comfortable corner of your house to make your pet feel safe and avoid distractions. This will make the ear-cleaning procedure easier and more comfortable for you and your pet.

Step 3: Position your pet in the right position. If you own a large dog, simply make it sit or lie down, and sit on your knees beside it. However, if you own a small dog or a cat, wrap them in a towel. This will help you hold your pet firmly and securely and make the handling easier, without causing any damage to the pet’s body. 

Step 4: Once your pet is comfortable, lift the ear flap gently, and examine the inner ear. Check for the presence of wax, redness, swelling, dirt or debris, pus, and unusual odors. The presence of a small amount of wax is ok, but if too much wax or dirt is present, it requires cleaning. On the other hand, if you find any sign of redness, swelling, foul odor, or pus, it might indicate an infection and you must contact a vet immediately.

Step 5: Carefully hold the Bioline Ear Care bottle and pour a few drops into your pet’s ear. To avoid bacterial or fungal transfer, make sure that the tip of the dropper doesn't touch the ear wall. However, if this happens, clean the dropper’s tip with a cotton ball soaked in alcohol.

Step 6: To distribute the solution evenly and loosen wax or dirt particles, massage the ear base gently for a minute. Don’t worry if you hear a squishing sound during this period, it's normal and a sign that the solution is working.

Step 7: Let your pet shake its head and clean the ear with a cotton ball or gauze, if any extra fluid comes out of the ear.

Step 8: Once the cleaning is over, offer your pet a treat or hug it, to make him feel he has done a good job.  

Points To Remember

Be patient and gentle and if your pet is not cooperative at the moment, don't force it and try later. Furthermore, if your pet feels pain, when you touch its ear, or you observe redness, swelling, foul smell, or pus inside the ear, you need to consult with a vet.
