SOME degree of cerumen (ear wax) production is normal. However, increased production or compromised clearance of cerumen can necessitate its removal. While this is mainly a problem in dogs, some cats may also require ear cleaning. This article describes the technique for cleaning ears in small animals. it also discusses the principal components of topical ear cleaners that may be used to clean the external ear canal and highlights those that are safe to use within a long-term otic care programme (ie, for home treatment over an extended period).
