Ear Infection/Cleaning

I also am now meticulous about putting cotton in her ears when I'm bathing her. I keep extras by the tub so that when she shakes one out I can immediately replace it. I hate ear infections.

Thanks for the help Gail. I will stop on my way home from work and pick up the Dawn pump soap and give it to my groomer when she comes tonight. If she is still greasy, I will wait a day or 2 and try it again. This is the first ear infection I've had to deal with and I feel so bad for her. I will always use cotton balls when bathing her and make sure I tell the vet next year when she gets her teeth cleaned again!
