That's how I used to do Toto's until .... I discovered Patrick's
foam earplugs!!!
They're the disposable kind that they have in the safety department and they use them at shooting ranges, etc. They are just perfect for Toto's tiny ears ... I cut one down the middle and have a pair! They are so easy to put in .... you just roll them between your thumb and forefinger until they're about the size of a wooden match stem and then immediately put it as far in the ear canal as it will go. It poofs back to normal size and won't come out until I pull it out. When she shakes her head they won't come out like the cotton did and it seems like her ears are drier. Our vet thinks that's one of the neatest ideas he has heard in a long time!
I also pre-treat her face! She is really bad about shoving her face into her food when she eats and she not only gets dried food on her mustache but around her little bottom lip. Sometimes I get busy and forget to clean her face when she eats and it dries. I take Q-Tips and either dip them in warm water or conditioner and soak those areas on her face as well as under eyes while I am brushing her for her bath. By the time I begin to bathe her the face yuckies are soft and easily shampoos out!
