Hi,
Barley (& Floss) were in the vets the other day for his usual jabs! They did the normal health check on them and the vets said Barley had some wax build up and irritation in his ears and gave me some drops for it.
The thing is she didn't show me how to administer these drops - and although I've read the instructions (of course), I'm finding it difficult as they don't seem specific to rabbits! The problem I'm having is that I can't really see into his ears lol, so I'm kind of trying to put the bottle with it's little dropper into his ear but obviously because I can't see I don't want to push it down too far! But on the other side Barley keeps shaking his head after I do this and the stuff is mainly coming out and now after a couple of days he's got greasy fur under his ears and I'm really not sure how much of this stuff is getting where it should be!
I'd be grateful if anyone has any advice they could share with me.
Also the vet didn't ask to see him again for a check up so I won't know if it's cleared up or not :? (obviously I can take him back anyway), I can't see any redness / wax / inflamation!
Thanks
Hannah
