Cat & Kitten Care : Removing Ear Wax From Cats

Let's talk about removing ear wax in yourcat.

Earwax can build up for a number of reasons, primarily if they've had ear mites in thepast, or ear infections, or some cats, it can just normally build up.

It can annoy thecat, and they'll scratch their ears a lot of times.

Check with your veterinary clinic.

It's not always necessary to have a cleanser, but if your cat creates a lot of wax, a cleansermight be appropriate for you.

That cleanser can be placed on a cotton ball, or a gauzepad, and then gently that ear can be cleaned.

Cotton balls work very well, and they actuallycan work very well, just dry.

The same for gauze pads, and so the concept is, you don'thave to actually have a cleanser, and you can put that gauze pad or that cotton ball,gently down into that canal, and always be careful.

Don't get bit, and gently twist,and pull that out, and that's going to be covered with some earwax, and that will cleanyour cat's ears out.

Cat Care : Removing Ear Wax From Cats

We're here with Daisy today, to talk aboutremoving ear wax from a cat's ear.

Now there's various reasons that a cat will get ear wax.

Mites can be a big one.

Fungus can be another.

Mites, usually they look a little bit likecoffee grounds that have accumulated in the cat's ear.

A, a fungus will have kind of ayeasty smell if you touch it and then put it to your nose.

In those cases you reallywant to take the cat to the vet and have the vet treat them for mites, or treat them forthe fungus.

Some cats get a lot of waxy build up just because they're kind of a waxy cat.

Or perhaps they have food allergies or some other allergy.

So I've put a little bit ofear cleaner, cat ear cleaner on this little pad and we're just going to reach around inhere, there's a lot of little crevices in the ear.

The outside of the ear you reallywant to get that because it can get some build up there.

These little crevices back here,oh yes, she's being such a good girl.

Daisy is an incredibly well behaved cat and I'mnot even having to scruff her.

Which is great.

Alright, with a cat that's a little less cooperative,you see this loose, loose skin right here at the back of the neck.

You can just scruffthat.

It's a great way to hold this cat secure, you can sort of press down a little bit, keepthem flat against the, the sink, the towel is really nice, or against the counter.

Thetowel is nice to give them something to put their nails into something if it will makethem feel secure.

And it keeps your counter clean.

And we're going to come over here anddo the other side.

There you go sweety.

How's that? Oh not a whole lot going on today.

Nowfor some cats the easiest thing to do is swaddle them in the towel.

I wouldn't do this witha cat that you don't know well.

But for one of your own cats it can help them feel moresecure, and it can also keep them from using their little claws to, to try and fight anythingyou're doing that they don't like.

So you just want to get in here and clean around.

You really don't want to go any deeper than where your finger will reach because you don'twant to damage their ear, their eardrum.

And a just nice gentle massaging motion.

Hopefully,it could actually, the thing that's amazing about cat grooming is it can actually be pleasurablefor the cat if you take the right attitude.

Doesn't that feel good? Doesn't that feelnice and clean? Oh aren't you a good kitty Daisy? Yeah, and look your ears are so pretty.

Ear Wax : Do we need it ? Does it have benefits?

This, boys

Here’s another object of personal hygiene.

It was invented much later, in the 1920s andI only know of one person, using it as a decorative accessory.

It is used, among other things, to clean ear wax.

So what is this sticky , shiny, gross secretionanyway? Earwax is made in the outer ear canal andthe fancy name for it, is CERUMEN.

It is primarily made up of fat, dead skincells and sweat and that is why it tastes a bit salty.

Once produced, ear wax slowly moves to theopening of the ear and either falls out or is removed when you wash.

So why does our body produce ear wax? Doesit have any advantages? Ear wax protects and moisturizes the ear canal,preventing dry, itchy ears.

It helps fight off infections that could damagethe ear canal.

It also acts as a shield, trapping dust, dirt,and other particles, so that they can’t travel any further.

Among humans, there are 2 main types of earwax.

The WET type which is brown and moist is likelyto be present in Africans and Europeans.

The DRY type which is gray and flaky is commonamong Asians and Native Americans.

More recent studies suspect that ear wax hasclues to a persons age, health and sex.

Respect! Ear wax is not restricted to humans but alsoproduced in other mammals such as whales.

It builds up over time and is one of the waysused to determine a whales age.

So what do you do to get rid of earwax ? Well,you do NOTHING! In general if you have hair and wash it regularly,that should keep your ears clean.

Dont poke around the inside of your ear witha cotton swab, finger or any other object.

You may just end up with a perforated eardrumresulting in a loss of hearing.

So this brings us to the end of the session.
