I'm not sure where this should go, it's kind of a grooming question, and kind of not.
I just noticed that Lucy has some brown wax in her ears. It is not a huge amount, or I would have spotted it sooner, but no one else has it, so I know it should not be there. It is not smelly. Can someone tell me how to clean her ears at home, with natural ingredients? I know that excess wax can be a sign of ear mites, but I can't imagine where she would have gotten them. Whatever it is, I want to try cleaning her up myself, and if the problem persists, she will need to go to the vet. I know not to use swabs or anything that could push the wax in more deeply, or damage her ears, and I would like to avoid harsh chemicals, as well.
