1. How to clean the cat’s ears?
It is recommended to use a special ear wash for cats to clean the ears of cats. The structure of cats’ ears is L-shaped, so we cannot use cotton swabs or ear-picking spoons to directly clean the ears of cats. It is likely to push the earwax further in.
First of all, we need to control the cat in our arms first. If the cat is more resistant, you can soothe the cat with dried fish or other snacks, and then properly stroke the cat’s head and chin, and play with it for a while. , to keep the cat relaxed.
Secondly, fix the cat’s head, then put a few drops of ear wash into the cat’s ear, gently rub the cat’s ear base, fully melt the dirt in the ear, wait for more than ten seconds, Loosen the cat’s little head and let it shake out all the dirt in its ears.
Finally, we use cotton swabs and paper towels to wipe off the earwax around the cat’s ears. Be careful not to poke hard into it when using the cotton swab, otherwise it will not only push the earwax in, but also hurt the cat. Cause the cat to have a shadow on cleaning the ears, and it will be more difficult to cooperate next time.
After cleaning the ears, we can give the cat a treat to reward and soothe the cat.
Second, how often should the cat’s ears be cleaned?
If it is an underage kitten, generally if there is no obvious dirt on the cat’s ears, it does not need to be cleaned, because the skin of the kitten is more sensitive and the immunity is relatively high Low, so often cleaning the cat’s ears will easily damage its ear skin. In addition, the kitten is relatively timid, if you do not pay attention to the method when cleaning the ears, the cat will be stimulated, and the cat may be stressed.
If it is an adult cat, the ears are easy to get dirty. It is recommended to clean it once a week. If the ears are not easy to get dirty, clean it once every two weeks.
