| Basic cleaning tips Hi, as Ellington still has his bad stomach, I needed to try and clean his bum today. I had been putting off worrying about his fur too much as he needs some time just to settle into his new home. But I cant leave a dirty bum! So, he seemed very happy to stand there, which was good to know, and it tolerated me poking a pulling the hair around the area, I managed to wipe some off, and snip some off, but obviously he still needs a good wash. Once he has settled in, any tips for home washing? |

| i just do a regular bath once a week or sometimes every two in my kitchen sink but my babies get a wash up every other day...which includes eye boogies....bum...peep...and paws and a good brushing. they all run away as fast as they can!! i have to say i could not live without splash n shine as cedric is a cotton coat and if no SS he would be a tangled mess of yuck. good luck and i hope ellingtons belly feeels better real soon.

| When you say a washup every other day, what exactly do you mean? |

| Great, think I will try to start doing that. Ellington seems to have decided he is sleeping with me too. |

| its a good habit and then you also are checking them over and get to know all about their bodies if there are any changes you should be concerned about. once a month i also do an organic ear cleaner unless needed more freaquently along with the heartworm and flea meds. i need to take them to get their nails cut because they act like i am killing them when i try to do it at home.. lol
