I've heard of putting cotton balls in the ears, I never have, as I've watched them when they get groomed, and they have never put anything in their ears. Is there a reason you're bathing him so frequently? Unless he's just filthy, I wouldn't bathe him every week, myself. Mine of course are pee pad trained, and are bathed every few weeks(like 10-12 weeks), never have a problem with oily looking hair and they never stink. I would suggest getting an ear cleaner from the vet, I have one that I use occasionally that I got from mine, it's for the wax |
