I feel your pain. When we first got Chloe, the vet at her initial check up said she had an ear infection. We had to squirt that cream in her ears, and each new time we did it, it got harder. The last time was when she turded (a verb my son came up with!) on my husband
Those memories are now fresh in my mind because she does the same fight (minus the turding LOL) when we try to get the petzlife in her mouth at bedtime...[sigh]
