Question:

I am looking for a product that I can use on my 11 yr old black lab's ears. She has an ongoing problem with ear wax and odor. We have tried everything from warm Olive Oil, saline, white vinegar, warm soapy water, and used an ear shringe to suction out the ear wax, but her canals are so deep it seems like we never get enough out to even get her comfortable. Is there anything we can use to melt away the wax or thin it out to get it out? She is having trouble hearing due to this issue.

Thank you in advance,

Nancy

Answer:

Hi Nancy,

Thank you for your query. The fact that you have tried all these methods to no avail suggests that there may be something specific causing the odor and wax buildup. We therefore recommend that you take the dog to the vet as there could be a foreign body stuck in the ear or some other structural anomaly which could be the cause.

Please let us know if there is anything else we can assist you with.

Warm regards,

The PetAlive Team
