Naturally, a pet's ear canal produces fats and various secretions to coat the ear walls. These secretions serve as a protective barrier against infection, trap dust, and maintain essential moisture within the ear.
Over time, these accumulated oils and secretions mix with expired or dead skin cells from the ear canal wall. They are then naturally expelled as earwax through the rhythmic movement of microscopic hairs (cilia) lining the ear canal. However, if this natural self-cleaning mechanism fails, it can lead to infections or Otitis (ear inflammation). The most common culprits found in clinical earwax examinations of affected pets are bacteria and yeast.
