How to put drops or ointment in a dog's ear

Treating a dog's ear infection means getting enough ointment deep enough in the ear on a regular basis. Here we show how to get it in. Importantly, this is only done once a vet has checked the canal for foreign matter such as grass seeds and made sure the ear drum is not ruptured. walkervillevet.com.au/blog/why-does-my-dog-shak…
TRANSCRIPT: First we've got to shake the ointment each time- these always settle in the bottle. Then we take the lid off.
Now, this long nozzle- it does need to go all the way down. This owner's got a nice hold here
just stopping the head from shaking about- sometimes get an extra helper. In the nozzle this goes down
Be careful careful
But all the way down and squeeze hard for at least a second
Very small outlet on this nozzle means you don't get much out otherwise
Then massage. This vertical part of the ear canal runs down the side of the head in a tube, and gently gently because this hurts
squeeze and massage down. This actually relieves most dogs
They quite like it and milking that ointment down before the dog shakes it out. Once we've done this for a little bit, a nice
squelching noise, so you get enough in, we can now let him go.
