I reckon I might get some of that to use as a preventative. Fizz used to be a nightmare for ear problems and the vet recommended a tiny bit of olive oil (not the cooking variety, but pharmaceutical grade, OTC at the chemists) and it seemed to be OK for him but messy.

Thanks everyone. I use to use some stuff called Leo earcleaner for cats and dogs gona ask my vet if they still do it but am getting some thornit.

Never found anything to beat Thornit. Effective, cheap, easy to use

I ordered some yesterday and it will be up to 10 days. Shall start using it straight away just cleaning with ear wipes at mo.

If its just dirt build up I use baby wipes, sensitive, does the trick in an instant.

I use baby wipes too. Penny
