My dogs nails are extremely overgrown. Is it better to just clip them to where they should be even though I might clip nerves as opposed to leaving them?
What a kind guy you are. So nice you were speaking gently to this poor little doggy. You knew he was in pain and did your best to comfort him. The ear looked so much better after you cleaned it out. King of the groomers!
I could tell how gentle you were being and im sure this poor lil soul appreciated it. also, seeing how you spoke to the dog, the patience you have, that's something I don't see much on some of the other big grooming channels. you did a great job 🖤🙏🏻🤗
It killed me to watch this. Think of the torment he must be going through. Why did the owner not see this?? I just can’t believe it! Sweet darling little one, I pray you healed with a doctor’s visit, antibiotics and A LOT of love Please.
The few seconds of pain for pulling the hair out is the best for him. He will be fine. My toy poodles used to have dirty years and cleaning the hair out and then cleaning is the best. You are just masking the infection. Fill the ear with the cleaner as the vet instructed then put the meds in. Poor little boy! He needs to go to the vet asap!
I can’t understand what ear canal resection is even suggested for this problem. Surely there must be some other options that could be developed. The problem is chronic infection. Deal with it effectively. It’s ridiculous to suggest removal of part of the ear Canal . Which will render the dog partially if not totally deaf. Remove and destroy the infection. Use better products, use ear vacs, enzyme cleaners Anything but surgery.
That’s why people don’t understand why groomers charge what they do! I’m not a groomer but have 5 dogs & my husband thinks I should try to do it on my own. 😫 Grooming is so much more than people realize! If they were the one dealing with everything they would gladly pay the fee. I totally get it. Thank you for loving him.
Great job. I'm a groomer as well and have seen some become so impatient with the nd the amount of patience can be needed that I've actually had verbal disagreements telling them to walk away for a bit and settle down before continuing
Poor doggo. He was such a good boi. I pluck my dogs ears on a weekly basis after cleaning them then massage in black seed oil. Because she's short and has daily walks on a field she is a dirt magnet so gets dirty ears frequently. Could this baby's ear hair be plucked under sedation, Gabapentin perhaps?
The ear looked better after the cleaning i was watching because my dog has foul smell and ima give her a vet visit this is my dogs 3rd time having an affection should i be worried?
I’m sorry if you’ve answered this in other videos but would it be best to give this dog a really short haircut at least around the head and the ears to get rid of any loose hair in order to aid airflow and drying for just that one ear? Another thing that might help and I do it and I’m very careful and I’ve had a vet tell me it’s OK because they’ve described the dog ear canal to me but on all the crevices that you can easily see I take a Q-tip with alcohol mixed with tea tree oil because it’s a natural antifungal an antibiotic on it and really getting deep to those crevices because my beagle holds dirt in her ears and the alcohol also aids in drying since it evaporates so fast? Sorry, I’m not trying to tell you how to do your job I just feel so bad for the dog😢 also, like you mentioned I don’t really care for the drying ear product. Thank you for a great informative video😊
Everything you’ve said here is 100% accurate. We try to encourage people to share some of their own remedies when it comes to topics like this. Sometimes with infections there isn’t just one way to tend to it so thank you for your insights !
This video was fascinating for me. We haven't had any infections this bad, *yet*. I have an English Cocker (no swimming allowed!!) and just rescued a senior American Cocker with very hairy ear canals. I'm afraid of what I'm going to hear at her first vet appt! I'm too scared to pluck the hairs although I've seen you do it. Thanks for this video, I really got a lot out of it. -d
Poor doggy, if this has been ongoing for an extended period of time I believe the vet should change the treatment regimen. Something alternative to address the source of the infection and not just the symptoms. Hopefully the dog does not have a ruptured ear drum, that should be considered aswell.
I've only had to deal with a nasty bacterial ear infection once with one of the dogs I fostered. The vet prescribed antibiotics, of course, and gave me a cream to use similar to what you've shown here: very thick paste. My "go to" addition has always been aloe and Bag Balm, in combination, for their anti-bacterial and soothing properties. I used those two -- aloe first and then a thin coat of Bag Balm -- on the ear flap and edge near to the ear opening and a bit up the skin side of the ear flap. The purpose was to protect from bacterial spread from the infection discharge. I do not put combination into the ear canal nor the opening but just up close to the opening after I've closely clipped any underside ear flap hairs. I had once again checked with the canine specialist vet at Purdue Vet College before I tried the protocol and process and got thumbs up. My own vet also gave the process thumbs up. This particular dog was prone to ear infections in that same ear [I keep in touch with the people who adopt dogs I've fostered]; I'd gifted an aloe plant to the adopters along with a can of Bag Balm "just in case." The aloe & Bag Balm combo is my go-to choice for decades for skin and hide issues for my dogs, cats, horse and, yes, for my family.
If you are going to be debriding the ear do not continue to wipe and rub and pick at the ear flap or below tje ear where u normally massage when cleaning ears with solution...
Can u tell the owner to change the dogs food. We changed our dogs food to strictly venison. Also our dog takes a daily allergy pill and it’s totally gone!!! No more ear infection! No more pain, no more paw licking. I wish our vet told us earlier to change the food
Once my clients' dog's ears get this bad ,i make them go to the vet , i tell them , I'm here to maintain not cure I pluck and clean healthy ears only , i shave ear flaps andsend them to the vet get the all clear from the vet my worst fear is to use a flush on a dog worth a damaged eardrum 😢. You did a great job avoiding going too deep but also getting the yucky stuff out !!!
I'm sure you're making it feel better but he needs to be on some antibiotics. Plus the vet needs to look down in there with a scope and see if there's something else going on.
@@angela-ji1cg I'm so sorry to hear this..You can try to go to ..Veteranian Secrets channel on RUclips..He has a lot of home remedy suggestions..hope it helps..
No disrespect to you but why hasn't the owner taken the poor animal to the vet ,antibiotics would no doubt help the infection and the pain the poor little mite is most likely experiencing.
Thank you so much for asking..after being put on antibiotics,and the owner bringing him back to me for weekly cleanings,we got the situation under control, although he had chronic ear problems,and it came back,we repeated the process..You were one the few comments that showed concern.. Thank you
@GroomingByRudy thank you so much for replying. I just wondered if the vet has ever thought of removing the infected ear canal as its something ive seen shown on bondi vet.
Sorry to hear that..My Shih Tzu had chronic ear infections..Did my best to combat it,but He was at the vet more than I would have liked..Thank you so much for watching us
@@gritskennedy5007 Totally disagree..Do the outer ear first to get the dog used to it,and let them know your going to be working the ear..You never know what kind of pain an individual dog may be feeling..You can hurt them,by going straight into the inside ear,without gauging there pain level..You do outside, inside, then outside again..I obviously did nothing short of a miracle cleaning this dogs ear..He felt 100% better when I was done..
In this case that is an older bottle that has been refilled because sometimes we buy larger containers and they are much too difficult to work with while there is a dog on the table so we’ll put the new cream in a rinsed out older bottle to make it quicker. To answer your question though, and to anyone else who is wondering, expired drying ear cream probably wouldn’t do “damage” per say, but it wouldn’t work as well either, so better to be on the safe side with that and not use expired products. Sorry for the confusion, we didn’t take into consideration that we were using a bottle with an expired date on it. We should’ve explained this in the video

Poor dog maybe an antibiotic and anti fungal yeast med in pill form to be given for 10 to 14 days maybe longer and drops to do the same… just to get a jump at it…. He is in so much pain!
I appreciate that you want to give him some relief, but with all do respect, you are a groomer and not a vet. As a groomer myself, I was taught to not touch an ear like this and strongly recommend the owner to bring the dog to a vet.
@@melissalacoursiere8634 Thanks so much for watching! I appreciate the fact that you mentioned I gave him some relief, in this case it was more than just some relief, keep in mind I am a 40 year veteran groomer and have worked along side many vets throughout my career, also as mentioned in the video the dog was seen by a vet, that day in fact, I received a call from the vet afterward thanking me for clearing out the ear because it saved them a heep of work and trouble and they were able to address the situation quicker 😊 being in this business for so long we've seen much worse than this and I'll always recommend a vet visit regardless
We won’t groom a dog like that. We tell the owners they have to bring the dog into a vet right away. They need antibiotics and more help from the vet. Did you have them sign anything to prevent you from being liable? This is so sad and gross. 🤢 I don’t understand why they wouldn’t take him to a vet.
The owner should be ashamed of him/herself. Clearly this poor dog needed to see a Vet. Why did this groomer try to service this dog, knowing it needed to see a vet. Even as a groomer his services are poor. Owmer Find A Knowledgeable Vet.
Yes,and also a groomer..We often see infections before vets do,since we see dogs more often than vets do,such as every 4 to 6 weeks..so what a good professional groomer will do is clean the ear,and recommend the client to a vet..we see this kind of stuff daily..antibiotics or not,we still have an obligation to Clean it first..
This was NOT a job for a groomer. Forceps, a wire brush, then a the clippers? Seriously? That poor elderly dog had to put up with too much. Saying ok buddy means nothing to the dog. What you did was superficial, it will not have dealt with the actual infection and even set up the circumstances for it to get worse over time. The cleansers needed more time to work and should have been gently massaged towards the exit of the ear canal and then gently removed. The crusts should have softened and wiped away gently NOT scraped off with a wire brush. That part made me wince - and it was a large brush for such a small dog. As for the electric clippers, No way. The wire brush and the clippers could worsen the infection by scratching the skin even if you are trying to be gentle. The fact that you tried to be gentle means nothing to the dog. and had no effect on the situation. That dog should have been taken to a vet, which is what you should have told the owner to do. After cleaning, a course of antibiotics and antifungals should have commenced without delay. I also don’t like that cord around the little dog’s neck. It might be suitable for grooming but not for this painful procedure. I hope viewers do not they to copy what they saw.
@@jacquelinekirk5601 We appreciate your comment, but unfortunately you're 100% wrong about every single thing you're saying in it. As professional pet groomers this is part of our job, we clean and aid infected ears all of the time. You know absolutely nothing about the procedure I am doing in this video. If you're not a professional groomer and know nothing about it, you should probably withhold from leaving a comment like this. You come off so mean spirited and callous that it would offend you in any way that I say "ok buddy" while being nice to this dog and trying to help.

If the dog's ear infection is chronic, long term, and always this bad... It may be worth seeing a vet about an ear canal resection.
Absolutely, problem is he is 16 years old, and it could be risky..Thank you for the suggestion..
