Question
My 6 month old GS has junk in her ear. I wanted to know the best of getting it out without hurting her? Thank you.
If there is "junk" in her ear, it is there because of something. It could be an infection or it could be ear mites. The best thing to do is to have your vet look at it to see. You can flush the ear with a 50:50 solution of vinegar and water once a day.
