Don't groomers need to pluck their ear hairs as they can become ingrown,get infections,mites,whatever to avoid all your probs.I know you have to be really careful.Poor lil guy,sounds painful.

I pluck the hairs from the ears of my Bedlingtons weekly and put in a pinch of Thornitt powder-you can buy it online from Amazon.

Hi Pogo's Dad! Welcome to the forum! Where we live is very humid and ear infections are quite common with floppy ear dogs. We've been lucky with Dunny, but our previous dog, Rosie, was always getting them. We had good luck with otomax, but used it in conjunction with an ear cleaning solution which also dried out the ears. Good luck with Pogo's ears. He is a cutie!
