Eardrops - any tips?

[Spudlet]

It's fair to say that Henry is not keen on the concept of eardrops.... he may only be a spangle but he is surprisingly wriggly! I'm pretty sure the carpet, my jeans, and my t-shirt are all fully medicated but I couldn't actually swear to his ears having received much of them

Has anyone got any tips for foolproof single-handed eardrop application...? Or would anyone like to come and pin him down for me?

FOOD! and 2 spare hands lol

I would go for some kind of food option - luckily Sweep has never had ear problems - he gets conjunctivitis instead so eye drops I can help you with!!!

Reverse rear end into a corner and straddle him with his head clamped between your legs and grip hard!! It is easier with a second pair of hands though!!
Another option is to lie him on his side and lightly kneel on his shoulder. This will probably only work the first time!!

Will report back shortly - let battle commence

Will brush up on my wrestling techniques as well

Thanks all!

Yep, the carpet is once again well protected from earwax build up and infection

I think SOME of it might have gone in his ears this time though!

Greyhounds dont seem to have ear problems (touch wood!) but mum/sister's CKCS get them - mum makes her own ear powder, and they never seem to object to it. Perhaps it is just less dribbly into their ear than drops

Borrow an Octopus for spare grip

LOL
(Sorry but that's all I could think of.)

Oh ho ho ho, very funny

Anyone know where I can get an octopus?

I don't think putting cheese in his ears will help much........

Well it would stop grass seeds getting in!
