Many pet owners may have experienced difficulties in caring for their dogs' face, dealing with issues like "struggling" or "escaping." When faced with sudden needs for eye drops or ear cleaning due to conditions like conjunctivitis or otitis externa, it's crucial to be prepared. In this article, we'll provide tips for getting dogs accustomed to these routines and points on safely caring for them.
In a healthy dog, eye discharge and earwax are minimal. Of course, changes in climate or environment can cause slight eye discharge or earwax even in healthy dogs. Since it's challenging to determine whether it's within the normal range, if eye discharge or earwax is present, it's advisable to have a check-up at the regular veterinary clinic.
Regular touch and understanding the "normal state" are crucial
건강한 반려견이라도 눈과 귀는 눈에 보이는 부위이기 때문에 약간의 눈 분비물이나 귀지만 있어도 걱정이 될 수 있습니다. 또한 눈 안쪽 모서리에서 코끝까지 이어지는 비루관이 막혀서 눈곱이 끼는 비루증의 경우 세균성 피부 감염을 예방하기 위해 자주 닦아주어야 합니다. 이러한 경우 무알콜 물티슈나 따뜻한 물에 적신 부드러운 거즈/수건을 사용하여 문지르지 말고 부드럽게 닦아주세요.
Things to note in caring for a dog's earwax
While earwax is minimal in a healthy dog, dogs with drooping ears or allergic tendencies are prone to otitis externa, requiring ear cleaning. However, it's unnecessary to use ear cleaners daily, as prolonged use may lead to excessive moisture in the ears, making them more prone to infections. Additionally, since the external ear canal is delicate, it's best to avoid vigorous cleaning with cotton swabs. If an infection requires treatment, liquid medicine may be introduced into the ear, and excess moisture can be absorbed with cotton balls or soft cotton. Some people use tissues, but this is not recommended as it may damage the ear canal and is less effective at absorbing moisture.
외이염은 박테리아 또는 곰팡이 감염으로 인해 발생할 수 있으며, 경우에 따라 기생 진드기가 원인일 수 있습니다. 이러한 질환은 육안으로 확인할 수 없으므로 이상하거나 다른 점이 보이면 수의사에게 진찰을 받도록 하세요.
당황하지 않는 관리를 위한 팁
To care for a dog without resistance, the key is to give "treats" during the process. Furthermore, practicing touching the dog's entire body regularly helps build a good relationship, making the dog more accepting of various procedures. Silence can heighten tension, so always speak gently, praising with phrases like "good job," "good boy," or "well done" while performing the care.

간식 준비
Spread paste-like treats, cheese, or wet food on a plate, placing it where the dog can lick. If done with two people, it's recommended for one to control the plate, positioning it at the nose, while the other administers the eye drops.
눈꺼풀을 뒤에서 부드럽게 들어올리기
Attempting to administer eye drops from the front may trigger the dog's alertness, as the eye drop nozzle or fingers get close to the eye. Lift the eyelid from behind and administer the eye drops to the "white part" of the eye.
부드러운 목소리로 찬양하기
After administering the eye drops, praise with a gentle voice like "well done" or "good boy," and reward. If possible, cradle the dog on its back, lift the eyelid from behind, and administer the eye drops, praising with "good boy" and rewarding afterward.
For ear care, similar to eye care, use treats and gentle praises like "good boy" during the process. While ear hair might be bothersome, it's best not to pluck it. Especially when the dog is already experiencing pain or itching due to inflammation, stimulating the area may worsen discomfort. If ear hair entanglement makes cleaning difficult or impedes the application of medication, trim the ear hair.
