| You might get more response to this question if it were posted in the grooming thread. To answer you question, there are drying powders that you can put in their ears and then gentle pull the hair out. Some people use a hemostat. |

| You might need to pluck the ears or you might not. It depends on how much hair they have in their ears. I had read the hair should be plucked to prevent infections but later learned on YT it isn't always necessary. Gus does not have a lot of hair in his ears so I stopped plucking them (years ago). He has never had an ear infection.
