 If you see the object at the opening of the ear you can sometimes grasp it with your fingers or tweezers and remove it. If�you think your dog has a foreign object in his or her ear but you can't get to a veterinarian right away, a few drops of�mineral or baby oil placed in the ear and massaged around will often soften the object sufficiently to relieve the signs of�otitis externa (tilting of head, scratching at ear) until the object can be removed by a veterianarian. You can prevent foreign objects from getting in the ears by putting cotton wads firmly in the dog's ears.  Back to Main Page
