I've posted this before in pets section and didn't really get any useful information. I figure there's got to be some hunters with beagles with the same problem. My dog gets these ear problems constantly, brown waxy stuff builds up, she contstantly scratches at them and the ears have a very nasty smell. One ear is good and doesn't have much problem, but the other one constantly needs cleaning.
Based on the advice from my vet I clean out the ears from top to bottom with AloeCetic and then use q tips and cotton balls to clean the ear canals and ear. Then I let it dry and put Neosporin on it. I have to do this once or twice a week. The vet took some cultures and determined that it wasn't an infection. In a nutshell, he said to keep the dogs ears dry. I explained to him this was an outdoor dog in a very rainy state (WA) that is in the field a lot, so this isn't too practical. Does anyone have any other ideas I could try?
