Ask the French Bulldog Vet - Cleaning Bat Ears?

admin August 10th, 2008

Hello!
I am a brand new Mom of a little 10 weeks old Frenchie - Maya.
We have quite simple question to ask: How and how often should we clean famous bat ears?
Thanks a lot in advance!

Dr. Lori writes –

I would suggest weekly cleaning with a clean cloth and maybe some Q-tips in all the folds and crevices.  This should suffice so long as she doesn’t have an issue.  It will help prevent infections as well as alert you early if one is starting.  Enjoy your new baby!
