Our Lagotto has been having ear infections from wax buildup. We have the groomer remove the wax every time he is groomed. However, periodically the wax still builds up and there is an infection. Our veterinarian has plucked the hair from his ears a few times (about every six months), and this has helped. Our veterinarian has also prescribed the allergy medication Apoquel, and this also seems to help. If anyone has other suggestions for ear care, that would be greatly appreciated. Ideally, we’d like to avoid the hair plucking because each time he needs to be sedated and there are risks to that.
