How to Clean Ear Wax in Golden Dogs Dogs also have ear wax in their ears from time to time, and when too much ear wax accumulates in the ears, the dog will experience discomfort and in severe cases, inflammation may result. Therefore, it is important to clean your dog’s ears regularly. The method of cleaning ear wax for golden retrievers is: first disinfect the outer ear canal with an alcohol cotton ball, to prevent the alcohol from dripping into the ear, then moisten the dried ear wax with 2% boric acid water or warm water, and after it softens, gently remove it with small tweezers. The tweezers should not be inserted too deeply, and the energy should be highly concentrated. If you see the dog’s head shaking, you should quickly remove the tweezers to avoid stabbing the eardrum or piercing the mucous membrane of the ear canal and causing infection.
