How do I clean a dog’s ears?
Steps to clean a dog's ears: first prepare cleaner, ear wash, and cotton swabs, and gently pet the ears to keep the dog calm. Then hold the ear, lift the flap to open the canal, pour in cleaner, and massage the ear base for ten seconds to a minute so the solution softens wax. Release the head to let the dog shake out the excess, then wipe clean with cotton swabs and tissue.

Common reasons for frequent meowing include heat, injury, illness, anxiety, hunger, or seeking attention. Since food and water are sufficient, hunger is ruled out. Check the cat's appetite and stool for abnormalities, and inspect its body for wounds. If the cat's body, appetite, and spirits are normal, consider whether it is in heat or simply lacking attention and wanting interaction.
