Yorkies have to have the hair inside the ears plucked out and I was in fear of causing pain to Buckeye so with one of his vet visits I mentioned it to them and asked if they would do that for me. They said they would and proceded to fold his little ear back and started RIPPING his hair out.
(there was lots there too) Buckeye didn't flinch a bit! My eyes were probably the size of 1/2 dollars and I was sure they should have put him under some kind of anesthetic. This was the vets assistant and I was sure she didn't know what she was doing. When I questioned her she informed me they do not have nerve endings inside the ears and they do not feel it. She said they may flinch but only because they hear the tearing sound. If I were to grab some of the other hair he would feel it. Then she charged me $7.00 for the hair removal. GUESS WHO DOES IT NOW!
