Best Answer

You can clean wax out of a dog's ear with a cotton bud if you are very gentle, or you can use a slightly damp flannel and gently wipe the dog's ear, but don't poke anything in there that you wouldn't poke in your own. Try not to get water in there either, because it can cause ear infections or at the least, he'll keep rubbing his head against the furnature, which, trust me, is annoying.

You can't make a dog's ears floppy if they are supposed to be pointed because their ears, like ours, do contain bones that make the shape of them. True, a dog's ears can't change from points to floppy, but you can change the next generation of dog's ears by breeding the pointed-ear dog with a floppy-ear dog.
