(Just enough so that they can leak their juices inside the ear.) After placing the cotton balls, have your people massage and squeeze your ears for 30 seconds. This feels SO GOOD! When they&#39;re done, you&#39;ll shake your head and the cotton balls come flying out. It&#39;s a great way to prevent discomfort from pouring liquid in, and it also ensures that the canal doesn&#39;t get flooded with the fluid. <br /><br />I don&#39;t mind this process at all. It&#39;s super gentle. Plus, there are MEATY TREATS to follow afterwards!<br /><br />Even Big Pupi doesn&#39;t mind this, and he used to shove his body under desks and stuff to hide from the ear cleaning monster. But thanks to the raw diet, we only need our ears done 2-3 times per YEAR!! Last year Big Pupi only had it done once and his floppies are completely odorless. Woohoo!!Stanislawhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13699030123206311814noreply@blogger.com
