In the process of raising a Bichon Frise, there are always a variety of conditions, so owners need to fully understand the dog’s knowledge and keep an eye on the dog’s condition in order to raise it well. Ear mites are a disease that often occurs in Bichons, as most of the dog’s ears are covered by hair, and if the ears are not cleaned effectively, it is easy to get sick. So how can you tell if your Bichon Frise has ear mites? The first thing to do is to make a distinction between a foreign body in the Bichon Frise’s ears, which could be ear wax, and ear mites. If it is ear wax, it is easier to clean and there will be no other symptoms; if it is ear mites, the dog will usually scratch its ears because it is itchy. 2. When bathing your Bichon Frise, you will usually have to clean its ears, and if the hair on the ears is too long, you will have to trim it often. Ear mites usually cause a more pronounced foul odor, unlike body odor on dogs, and should be paid special attention.3. A Bichon Frise with ear mites will often shake its head, scratch its ears, or rub its ears on other objects, all to relieve the itchy ears. It will secrete a dark brown waxy and exudate or form scaly scabs in its ear canal, and if observed with an otoscope, even tiny white or flesh-colored ear mites can be found moving on the exudate.4. When a Bichon Frise is found to have ear mites, the dog must be taken to the vet in a timely manner. The vet will usually disinfect and clean the ear canal, after which there is a special ear mite medication for wiping. This disease can not be delayed, ear mites can cause serious harm to the dog’s hearing if serious. 5, in the usual feeding process, try not to take the Bichon Frise to wet places, in the outdoors as far as possible to keep it from contact with other dogs with problems, bathing should also often clean its ears, to reduce the probability of dogs suffering from ear mites at the source.
