I have never used any ear protection or drying agent in Huey's ears. Like Sally, I just hold Huey's head downward when I pour water over his head. This is as much to keep it out of his nose as his ears, because he wants to look up and then splutters and coughs (dingbat!). When I am concentrating around the ears, I fold them over if they are not already flopped from the weight of the water. Afterwards, I dry them well with a towel and try to direct the blowdryer into them (doggie dryer, on low, of course) but he hates that. He has never had any problems with his ears though. |
