[nagdu] Cleaning Ears

[Jess And Saunders]

Hey
This is prob going to sound dumb ha but do you usually pour the stuff in the 
ear then rub or put it on the cotton ball and stick that in and rub. Also 
when you say the base of the ear I put 1 finger in front and one in back is 
that correct? Sorry just want to prevent this from happening at all. Also 
speaking of good foods I feed wellness so is that pretty good for no grain 
or corn?

Julie J, that is my method, too.  I probably actually clean ears maybe two
or three times a year.  I haven't had any ear problems since I stopped
feeding foods with corn or wheat. Amazing what the right food can do.
