I had a vet appointment and apparently thought you could just rub the solution on a cloth and clean the inside of the ear out.
well it turns out they want the ear saturated...with the ear solution due to the folds ..in the ears.
never really gave it much thought..
had some yeast infections in ears though here......
so from now on..will pour in the solution and let the bully shake it outside..then massaged in the rest of the way and cleaned out with a cloth then..
supposed to loosen all the gunk..
how do you clean your bullies ears??

cotton balls
I saturate a cotton ball and use that in the ear. I make sure to squeeze the cleaner so it does get down deep and I massage the ear and then take the cotton ball out, let her shake and then finish cleaning the inside with another cotton ball or q-tip making sure not to go too far down. Repeat on the other side.
I learned the cotton ball trick from a vet b/c I had a girl who would hide when she saw the ear solution bottle come out. LOL She wasn't stupid, I couldn't get anywhere near her to just put a drop or two in. Cotton balls were the trick and I still use it.

here's what I do
I take the tip of the bottle and put it in the ear and squirt in the solution while the head is tilted such that the ear is pointing up. I then go to the base of the ear and start to squeeze with my thumb and index finger. The base is thick and will feel like cartlidge. You will probably hear the solution and squishy noise, I do this for a minute or so, my dogs love that part.
I then take cotton or a soft towel and twist inside the ear to remove the dirt. My dog's will sometimes shke their heads and more stuff might come out then, that's really gross. I usually follow up with a spray of benadryl or gentamycin if needed, depending on if it is allergy season or I suspect an ear infection.
We usually do this once a week, or as needed.

It's the smell that sends Audrey running
she doesn't care if it's in the bottle, on cotton pads or q-tips, if she smells it she's hiding. (She puts her head in the corner behind the toilet and figures if she can't see me i can't see her) love that dog!
