It should be fine. You can moisten a cotton ball and dab the ear tip then monitor for any reaction. If you see none, gently clean the ears. Nolvasan Otic and EpiOtic are also acceptable ear cleaners. Use only cotton balls, not cotton swabs to clean just what you can see and reach with a finger.

    You can use an ear cleaner such as Epi-Otic. Moisten a cotton ball and gently wipe the ears as far down as you can. Do not use a cotton swab or insert anything deep into the ear canal. Use a dry cotton ball afterwards to dry the ears out.
