How to get the ticks inside the dog's ear canal?

Hi. My fingernails can no longer reach the tick inside the dog's ear canal, if I force it, the dog begins to freak out. May I know how to get rid of those ticks which are inside the dog's ear canals? I'm really worried for my dog. By the way, is it safe to put alcohol inside his ears to poison those ticks?

buy earmites solution from petshops, you'll just put one or two droplets in both ears and those mites will be gone.

You can purchase ear mite treatments from your pet supply store or your vet will prescribe an oily insecticide to clean the ear canals. It is important to clean out all the gunky black stuff from the ear canal daily. You can clean this with a thin cloth or cotton balls dipped in olive oil. (or any other vegetable oil) The medication should then be massaged deeply into the dog's ear taking care to get into all the nooks and crannies of the ear canal. This treatment should be continued for 2 weeks after the dog seems to be cured to ensure that all ear mites are killed as they progress through their life-cycle.

Hope this helps.

you can do this manually by using johnson buds. ganahan ang dog play with their ears and just pretend you are playing. pero katong naa sa pinaka ilawm morag special treatment na needed like droplets or vet advise
