HEALTH DATABASE: EAR WAX BUILD UP
« Back to Index

Unclean ears sometimes indicate an infection. If such a problem exists, it would be a good idea to let a vet examine your cat. He/she can determine if an infection or ear mites is present. If so, there are treatments that should clear up the problem. However, if your vet determines that it isn't a serious wax build up problem, you can use a commercial ear cleaner (or your vet will probably have one that you could use at home). Otherwise, I've heard that it's safe to mix up a homemade solution to clean out wax using half hydrogen peroxide and half water.
