How do you get ear wax out of kittens ears? Like how do you clean them out well?

Answer 1

Use a q-tip. I had to do that to my dog. Just make sure you don't stick it in to far. or go to the vet, they can give you a solution to use with a paper towel or something and you use your finger to get it out.

Answer 2

Do the ears smell at all? That could be an indicator that there's dirt or wax, or perhaps something else irritating the ears. They make ear wipes for cats. I'd try that first. It prevents you from going too deep and doing damage, and it removes dirt and wax that cause itching and irritation.

If that doesn't relieve some of the kitty's itching, definitely go to the vet. We're not even supposed to put cotton swabs in our OWN ear canals, so don't put any in your cat's! The vet may do a flush or a treatment, and although it may cost you a little something (my vet does ear flushes for free if the cat's getting an exam anyway), it's better to have a pro do it than to risk damaging your kitty's ears. Good luck!

Answer 3

A kittens ear canal is deeper in the ear than that of a humans. Take a cotton ball and put some baby oil on it and clean the outer portion of the ear. For the inner portion of the ear you will need to use a cotton swab. Put baby oil on the swab and clean the inner portion of the ear. You may need several swabs and cotton balls. The baby oil will also help kill the ear mites if there are any in the ear.

Answer 4

Kitten's ears go straight down and make a 90 degree turn to the ear drum. You can't get to it unless you work really hard. You can take a paper towel and wipe out the part you can see or use a Q-tip. You can put a little olive oil in them to loosen up the grime but when they sling their head and they will, the oil goes all over the place.

Answer 5

You take a Q-Tip, coat the top layer with Vaseline and gently clean out their ears. Dont go in very far though, it can damage thieir ear drums. Its just like cleaning out your own ears. If the stuff doesnt come out swab the ear a little firmerbut not very hard. You have o be very gentle with kittens.

Answer 6

You wet a cotton ball with alcohol, squeeze it out really well, and then just clean out the kitties ears. Don't be afraid to get in there good. It won't hurt him. I've seen the vets do this a hundred times. If you think he might have ear mites you'll need to get a special solution for it to clear it up, but the process is the same.

Mineral oil...that's right, to suffocate the mites...she's right.

Answer 7

I use a tiny bit of peroxide on a Q-tip and gently clean it out. Don't push hard, just barely twirl it around inside the ear. I've done this for years, even when my cats were very small and it's never hurt them. I have three house cats. I hope this helps.

Answer 8

Our pets are just like humans in our family and we treat them that way. We give them the medicines such as pain pills, allergy meds or what ever. We just adjust the dose according to weight. So for ears we use soap and water for large animals and small ones such as cat/kitten, I use q-tips/cotton ball with hydrogen peroxide. When my child goes to the ear doc he uses q-tips. Just not to deep. There also plenty of over the counter products for this. For animals and people. I love all my four legged family members as I do my children. Good Luck with your family member.

Answer 9

My cat had ear mites really bad and the best way to clean her ears out was with a cotton ball and mineral oil , its very safe for the cat and it cleaned her ears out really good it also suffocated the ear mites..the oil that is.

Answer 10

This is definately best left up to your vet. Let your vet remove it and then show you the correct way to do it. He may want to put wax removal in the ear plus their might be health reason for the wax build up. You can do alot of damage by using a Q-tip.

Answer 11

They sell ear wipe pads for cats in pet stores. You can wipe around inside the ear without poking with a Q-tip.
