Typically you don't have to worry about putting too much ear cleaner in the ear. Just gently wipe with a paper towel and the rest will drain out on its own. As long as you didn't get any cleanser into the eyes your puppy should be fine.

You can use a commercial solution, such as Epi-Otic. Do not use plain water. This could foster infection. Also, do not use peroxide or alcohol as these may sting and cause pain. If there is discharge or bleeding, have Buddy examined by your vet to diagnose and treat infection first.
