The vet uses gauze pads that have been soaked in warm water. She just holds them gently against the gucky part and it softens the matter, then it will wash or comb out without it pulling the hair. I try to clean around the eye area everyday even though it may not be "gucky", therefore, the dog gets use to the washing and knows it won't always hurt to be touched. I like to whisper to them while I am doing it, telling them what a good girl and boy they are. They love the attention. Good luck. |
