Springer’s Ears need special care

As any English Springer Spaniel owner knows, the breed tends to have ear problems. Ear infections plagued my Springer “Spencer”. Then a veterinarian showed me how to clean his ears and what to use to help keep them clean. He said any ear cleaner for dogs that can be purchased at a pet store is suitable.

Well, Spencer has since gone to doggie heaven. But my new baby, “Eliot” is 10 years old and has never had an ear issue. He has allergies, and the vet continues to check his ears, and they are always clear. The reason is ever since he was a pup I have cleaned his ears weekly and continue to do so.

I use Doctors Foster & Smith Ear Clens Solution. Simply squirt several drops into each ear and message the ear canal upward and then wipe out the debris with a cotton ball. I am very happy with the results and I know if I forget to clean them, for Eliot starts to scratch them and wants his ears rubbed. I cannot guarantee that this will work for you, but your Springer will be happier and his ears will be clean.
