[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 567712, member: 84"] Yesterday Travis took the more laid back let's do this soon as you give me an opportunity approach. The two of us together wasn't working. So he came down and petted her a bit (had the medication stashed in his hand) and soon as she gave him the opportunity and was calm he put the drops in her not so painful ear. Praise and a reward. It took several hours to repeat for the really painful ear. But it worked without it being a huge traumatizing event. We must be getting them into the ear ok as her ears are getting better. No yelps of pain last night and no digging at the ear scratching. This is the same method I'm doing with her brushing and handling her paws (gently). When she was littler there was no reason to brush her or clip her nails because neither were long enough to worry about it. I still don't need to clip her nails yet.........but I want her used to me handling her paws and realizing I'm not going to hurt her. (also helps with the wiping the feet issue which she hates atm) Brushing is it's own reward. When she holds still she realizes rather quickly that it feels good. lol I plan to make the furbabies treats for xmas too. A muffin type recipe? Really? Oh now if Buck takes those and eats them......... :rofl: [/QUOTE]
