If you need clean your dogs ears due to dirt you can use baby wipes but never put any thing in the dogs ear canal without consulting a veterinarian.
An excess of wax can often indicate the presence of an ear infection. If the wax is black your dog may have ear mites, be bitten by fleas or have a fungal infection. Fungal infections are common during warmer weather especially in humid environments. If your dog is constantly scratching at its ears or constantly shaking its head vigorously this indicates your dog may be in distress and can cause hematomas. If you believe your dog has an ear infection, has sores on its ears or there is any swelling of the ears you should consult a veterinarian immediately. These problems can escalate quickly. Aside from being painful to the animal it can cause hearing loss and serious health problems.
