shan - you very pretty leh.. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
i m urs - there's this ear solution called doc gold...it's good for cleaning..it's made from tea tree oil...keeps out the bacteria...just grab the head, if he shakes or struggles, stare at him and say NO firmly..then when he stops, praise him alot...then when u start cleaning,he will struggle again, then u just repeat NO, then praise when he stops..it's very easy one... ear infection is very common in shih tzus and breeds that have covered ears, so the ears have to be dry and clean..clean every 2-3 days..dun necessarily need to use solution...solution just once a week...and shih tzus have lots of ear hair...so if u know how to pluck, just pluck, not pain one...if not, then once a month send to groomer for basic grooming can le...MOST IMPORTANTLY, do not use cotton buds..it will hurt the ear canal cos the cotton is not thick enough..use those tweezer like scissors, kiap the cotton wool and wrap the head of the tweezer and just wipe...
lastly - sorry for being so lor sor..haha...when it comes to dogs, i find it hard to shut up.. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
