Cat & Kitten Care : Removing Ear Wax From Cats

Post author By admin
Post date October 20, 2015

Let's talk about removing ear wax in yourcat.

Earwax can build up for a number of reasons, primarily if they've had ear mites in thepast, or ear infections, or some cats, it can just normally build up.

It can annoy thecat, and they'll scratch their ears a lot of times.

Check with your veterinary clinic.

It's not always necessary to have a cleanser, but if your cat creates a lot of wax, a cleansermight be appropriate for you.

That cleanser can be placed on a cotton ball, or a gauzepad, and then gently that ear can be cleaned.

Cotton balls work very well, and they actuallycan work very well, just dry.

The same for gauze pads, and so the concept is, you don'thave to actually have a cleanser, and you can put that gauze pad or that cotton ball,gently down into that canal, and always be careful.

Don't get bit, and gently twist,and pull that out, and that's going to be covered with some earwax, and that will cleanyour cat's ears out.

Cat Care : Removing Ear Wax From Cats

Post author By admin
Post date October 20, 2015

We're here with Daisy today, to talk aboutremoving ear wax from a cat's ear.

Now there's various reasons that a cat will get ear wax.

Mites can be a big one.

Fungus can be another.

Mites, usually they look a little bit likecoffee grounds that have accumulated in the cat's ear.

A, a fungus will have kind of ayeasty smell if you touch it and then put it to your nose.

In those cases you reallywant to take the cat to the vet and have the vet treat them for mites, or treat them forthe fungus.

Some cats get a lot of waxy build up just because they're kind of a waxy cat.

Or perhaps they have food allergies or some other allergy.

So I've put a little bit ofear cleaner, cat ear cleaner on this little pad and we're just going to reach around inhere, there's a lot of little crevices in the ear.

The outside of the ear you reallywant to get that because it can get some build up there.

These little crevices back here,oh yes, she's being such a good girl.

Daisy is an incredibly well behaved cat and I'mnot even having to scruff her.

Which is great.

Alright, with a cat that's a little less cooperative,you see this loose, loose skin right here at the back of the neck.

You can just scruffthat.

It's a great way to hold this cat secure, you can sort of press down a little bit, keepthem flat against the, the sink, the towel is really nice, or against the counter.

Thetowel is nice to give them something to put their nails into something if it will makethem feel secure.

And it keeps your counter clean.

And we're going to come over here anddo the other side.

There you go sweety.

How's that? Oh not a whole lot going on today.

Nowfor some cats the easiest thing to do is swaddle them in the towel.

I wouldn't do this witha cat that you don't know well.

But for one of your own cats it can help them feel moresecure, and it can also keep them from using their little claws to, to try and fight anythingyou're doing that they don't like.

So you just want to get in here and clean around.

You really don't want to go any deeper than where your finger will reach because you don'twant to damage their ear, their eardrum.

And a just nice gentle massaging motion.

Hopefully,it could actually, the thing that's amazing about cat grooming is it can actually be pleasurablefor the cat if you take the right attitude.

Doesn't that feel good? Doesn't that feelnice and clean? Oh aren't you a good kitty Daisy? Yeah, and look your ears are so pretty.

What Causes a Clogged Ear? | Ear Problems

Post author By admin
Post date October 19, 2015

One of the common complaints that individualshave is that their ear fills full or clogged, and there are many different causes for this.

Probably the most common cause is earwax simply blocking your ear canal, and this is easilyenough treated.

Your primary care doctor or your internist can often irrigate this out.

If it's severely impacted, you can seek a consultation with an ear, nose, and throatspecialist who will have more sophisticated tools to remove the wax from your ear.

Thereare preparations over the counter and drug stores as well that allow you to soften thewax and irrigate it.

The second most common cause of a sense ofear fullness is a problem with your middle ear space.

The middle ear space contains air,and the air gets in through a tube called the Eustachian tube.

The Eustachian tube connectsyour middle ear with the back of your nose, and this tube is normally closed.

It opensby the actions of the muscles of chewing and swallowing.

When you come down in an airplaneor an elevator and you yawn or swallow and you ear pops, your ear pops because you arevoluntarily opening your Eustachian tube and allowing air into the middle ear.

The lining membrane of that tube, the liningmembrane of the Eustachian tube is the same membrane that lines your nose and your sinuses.

And, we all know how quickly our nose can swell closed if we get a viral infection ora cold or an allergy, and the same is true of the Eustachian tube.

If the lining membraneof the Eustachian tube swells closed, your ear will feel blocked.

Treatment for thisis the same as the treatment for colds.

Decongestants, antihistamines, and nasal sprays.

The third most common cause of a sense ofear fullness is a problem with your inner ear.

While the most common symptom of an innerear problem is hearing loss, and the second most common is a noise or a ringing in yourear, and the third perhaps is dizziness, fourth on that list is a sense of ear fullness.

Andif you don't have earwax, and if you don't have a problem with your Eustachian tube,then you must have your inner ear evaluated as a possible cause for this ear fullness.

Why Do We Need Earwax?

Post author By admin
Post date October 19, 2015

What is this stuff? ChEARio mates, Trace ear for DNews.

Earwaxis weird and gross, it\’s basically congealed ear sweat.

There are two kinds of sweat: mostis cooling watery sweat, but some is thicker smellier sweat — which shows up in the armpitand ear.

Earwax isn\’t really wax, it\’s mostly dead skin cells, proteins and oils added bythe apocrine gland.

The junk is in there to protect the inner ear from water or infection,as a foothold for bacteria.

Earwax fights off some diseases and can lubricateand protect the ear from infection and water.

It\’s a pretty common system of protectionin mammals.

The wax builds up over time, and in some species can reveal a lot about theirpast.

Late last year, researchers at Baylor University used the earwax of a blue whaleto reveal when it went through puberty, which years it was able to find ample food, andwhen pollutants like mercury were introduced to the whale\’s environment.

Whale earwax isn\’tquite the same as human earwax, but based on studies like this, current research isexploring what earwax can teach us! This week a study of human cerumen — themedical term for earwax — dove into the stuff nose first and found the smell of your earwaxcan give away your ancestry! Caucasian earwax smells stronger than EastAsian or Native Americans! Research published in the Journal of Chromatography B exploredthe ABCC11 gene, which affects sweat, and thus earwax, in humans.

The type commonlyfound in Caucasians creates a stickier earwax and more stinky body odor, while the typein East Asians creates dryer, flakier earwax and less stinky body odor.

It\’s not that theodors themselves are different, it\’s that the volatile compounds in the earwax are indifferent amounts.

Volatile compounds are the tiny particles we sense when we\’re smellsomething.

Knowing this, scientists can use earwax, notonly to tell ethnicity, but in the future they\’re going to try to follow those researchingthe whale wax and see what secrets your ear wax holds.

There are diseases that leave tracesin ear wax once they appear in the body.

It might even catalog what you\’ve eaten, or whereyou\’ve been! Doctors of the future might be able to diagnose a possible immune systeminvader, or health risk, with a digital sniff of your earwax.

Now, your cerumen is protecting you from infection,lubricating your ears, and keeping a health record for your doctor, but even knowing ALLTHAT, there are those of you who will totally want to get rid of it.

Firstly, don\’t usea cotton swab.

Not in the EAR CANAL.

Outer ear? Knock yourself out.

Inner ear.

NO.

Sometimes,when you poke around in there with cotton swabs, you\’re actually INCREASING earwax buildup,mushing it together and causing blockages! Stop it.

Oh, and ear candling is silly andgross.

Studies show it doesn\’t work and it\’s not recommended.

If you REALLY want to getrid of it, talk to the guys at www.earwaxremoval.net about private ear wax removal in London.

They\’ve got drops you can buy.

But why would you wantto? That stuff is great! Did we change your opinion on earwax? Tellus on below in the comments and subscribe for more videos seven days a week.

Ear wax is one of the most common reasons hearing aids stop working.

It's important that you clean your hearing aids every day, and when you see your hearing healthcare professional, ask them to take a look in your ears.
