I have never done this before, but it's getting to be time for my senior girls. Their ears still look very pink and clean, so perhaps they are grooming each other, but I think I saw some wax in Penny's ear tonight. They are really having trouble using their back legs, although they make heroic efforts to maintain grooming. They somehow keep their fur in pristine condition, and their tails are cleaner than ever.
I have read that it's OK to clean the ears with a Q-tip, but I am terrified of hurting her or doing damage after all the stuff that doctors say about people cleaning their ears with Q-tips.
Should I put warm water on the Q-tip first? Warm olive oil? How deep should I insert the Q-tip?
