[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 167761, member: 1991"] Vaseline is good. Also absolutely brilliant is a good insect repellent. Aussies live with flies and mozzies so I suspect we could be one of the word's highest per capita consumers of insect repellent. We've used human stuff on dogs, just go carefully when spraying, to avoid the dog's eyes and nostrils. If you vaseline the ears first, this will stop any stinging form the repellent spray. A well-known Aussie brand is Aerogard - the classic ad in Australia is "Djavagooweegend?" "Don't forget the Aerogard!" Something else to consider is sunscreen, especially with pale-skinned animals. My parents' cat died of skin cancers that developed on his ears, even though they had them removed (the cancers, then the ears). Again, zinc cream is good. Some people tattoo the risky areas. Or maybe skin cancer is less of a problem in your area? Marg [/QUOTE]
