The guinea pig's ears are very dirty and plugged with wax and dirt as the owner had not got it groomed for many years. This video shows a guinea pig's black dirt inside the ears are cleaned and  irrigated under gas anaesthesia. Minimal amount of gas is used to ensure safety for the guinea pig.
The hair around the ear canals are clipped to permit easy ventilation.
In Toa Payoh Vets, we us gaseous anaesthesia without injectable sedatives as this is the safest method for the guinea pig. 

It wakes up fast within one minute at the end of the ear irrigation.
