Ears Again

We have discussed how the flop-eared Weimaraner is often prone to ear issues. It is best to avoid them altogether. This point in the conversation is where I should mention that often one ear is more prone to infections than the other--that might seem odd. Our Veterinary says it is not uncommon for one ear canal to be smaller than the other--this makes a huge difference.

It has always been our recommendation that after a swim, a bath, or water sports that the Weimaraner receive a bit of ear powder to help dry out any extra moisture. The powder has always helped, but recently, we have been able to purchase a relatively inexpensive one that works even better. (It is similar to the canker ear powder we used to import (at a considerable cost) from the UK.) 

​The bottle is small--but it goes a long way. If your Weimaraner is prone to ear issues, we suggest you give this a try. The directions say to clean the ear first--so you need to plan on that. In a pinch (if you didn't have any ear cleaner), you could use 50% cider vinegar solution.
