Well it was quite a horrible experience. My dog Chloe cried and squirmed the whole time so I know its not something I could handle doing, but you can buy these special grooming tweezers. My friend took her yorkie to vet with mine and she had to pluck his ear hairs too and he(her yorkie) just sat there but he is a 3 1/2 year old mellow yorkie. I have never even heard of this. Is this common? Is it absolutley neccassary? I dont know what was more painful for chloe- the ear hair plucking or the infection which will go away with this antibiotics. Anybody have some good advice?
