| Good Morning... I have a question.... Good Morning YT'ers! I have a question that you may be able to help me on. My Yorkies have full-coats and they get bathes once a week, and between the regular bathing I usually give them a "butt bath". Shelby ( the girl ) is especially bad about getting very "sticky & dirty" on her backside due to her squatting when she pees. I have used many different brands of Petwipes but am looking for one that really works well ( cleaning and deodorizing) for between the bathes. The ones that I use now work pretty good, but thought that someone out there knows of something that works for them and might be better. I really don't want to add another butt bath to our schedule (she don't have any skin probs and I want to keep it that way, and too much bathing could dry her out! ) Suggestions???

| The only thing I've ever used along this line (generally during my females' heat) was a wet rag or occasionally a human baby wipe. |

| I use the Baby Wipes for sensitive skin for Hallie. They have never bothered her skin and work really well~ |

| Warm wet washcloth with one drop shampoo I buy baby washcloths (from the Dollar Tree). I wet the washcloths until they are drippy wet, add one drop (that's right ONE drop) of MinkSheen (their regular shampoo -- SMELLS FANTASTIC) add more warm water and squish it around, wring out most of the water and wipe away. The soiled wash cloth is put over a towel rack to dry and is then thrown in the laundry basket with the towels. Funny how it can take a lot of words to describe what it takes about 5 seconds to do.... |

| Hi, We have found that it is best to shave around the rectal opening, and keep clean with a warm soft washcloth. This was recommended by our vet and has worked very well for out babies. |

| Since I home cook for mine, I've never had the first problem with pee stains or poop on the hair. I do keep the anal area cut a little short for hygiene purposes. I buy doggie wipes to clean their facial hair after they eat and take on outings and trips. I think most would be fine. I've also seen people use baby wipes for sensitive skin. |

| I use the newborn or sensitive skin kind of the baby wipes. They smell good, and work well between baths. You have to get the name brand though-the store brand ones aren't as thick or as wet in the box.

| If you have wipes that have dried out in the box, just add some distilled water to them. Not too much, Just enough to get them moist again. |

| Hmmmmmm.... will have to try the warm washcloth and tad of shampoo. It is never a "poo" issue, just when she squats to pee it gets on her long hair. I don't think that trimming the long hair on her backside and back legs would be very attractive. Thanks for the info AND to Diggy4 for giving me the bump!
