I have a friend who is a breeder and she said I had to PULL THE excess hair out of the ear canal. I thought it would hurt GIa but it actuallly did not. I used tweezers to pull it till I could see down in the canal. Then, I cleaned with qtips the black stuff in the ear. Not down very far tho. I am prettly sure they get ear infections, yeast, etc if you don['t deal with that excess hair. The groomer is supposed to do that but I don't go to the groomer very much. Scared gia will jump off the table. she doesn't fit in the sling. he he Denise |
