Question
Hi, my 7 month pitbull has been having alot of ear wax and buildup in his left ear now for a few weeks. I have to clean it for him every couple days. It's like a brown wax. The right ear is normal and doesn't have this problem. I think some water may have gotten in there when i gave him a bath a while back. But i make sure to dry his ears very well each time now. Is there something i can do about the wax? thanks.  

Answer
If he appears to be very itchy in that ear-it may be ear mites and you have to go to the vet for that,but if he isn't scratching,it's probably just build up of wax,there are special rinses you can get at any pet supply store,just ask the staff what one would be best

If that doesn't seem to help,talk to your vet,they may have something that will help as well
