My little one HATED getting his ears plucked the first couple of times we did it. I had to hold him down while my mom plucked with tweezers. I am absolutely positive that we were not hurting him, but he hated to be held down. She only plucked the hair growing out of the ear canal, and then she cleaned his ears with Q-tips and alcohol...he LOVED that! She only did a few swipes with the Q-tips...she didn't go down in the ear canal or anything. Now he actually enjoys getting his ears plucked and cleaned out. He just lays on his back and relaxes. I am sure plucking the hair out will save us money in vet bills from ear infections, etc, although it is hard to do it at first because they really don't like it until they get used to it. |
