| Someone started a thread in Emergency titled "Wet hair in between eyes and below". I think that might help you. Ellie's vet recommends baby wipes for the fur around the eyes, but that would do you no good if you can't get by her face.

| Eye Boogers I simply use a cotton square w. warm water, but to get close to her face, i generally pat her had, she'll get all sappy, then start cleaning, takes some time to multi task, but worth it..those things are nasty....

| We use the Eyewipes that you can buy at Petsmart. We also use a flea comb... VERY carefully... (Shelby & Seymour are pretty good about having their eyes cleaned... they are sitting pretty still lately).

| It sounds like it just may take some time for her to get used to it. How old is she? Maybe just do a tiny bit and give her a little treat and keep repeating that till she is comfortable with it. I don't think they ever really LIKE it. In time though, she should get used to it enough to sit for it. |

| I use a soft wash cloth, and warm water. The more often you do it the easier it will become. Do you have someone who could help you?
