With the way your holding the head the dog won't be able to turn or wiggle away (or bite). To medicate the ears I'd just move my index finger in front of the ear and have the other three fingers behind the ear cupping the back skull while my thumb is under the back jaw bone. This way your holding on to the head more then the throat and you won't have to worry about cutting off the airway. My other hand is around the dogs chest with the arm pressing the dog's body tight to my chest. YouTube - small dog blood draw restraint |
Hahaha, I just watched this same exact video on Youtube after reading this thread and was thinking about posting it here
Yes, I agree, it's a very good video showing proper restraint of a very small dog.
