Hi all,
Not been here in ages it's seems! But need a bit of advice please.
Nibbles arthritis has worsened severely over the last couple of months and despite high metacam one of his back legs just won't move and he is very stiff on it. Up till now it just meant this leg was lagging a bit and would scrape his toenails, but now he can't scratch his ears with that leg and can only balance for few seconds when cleaning his face with his front paws (heart breaking to watch).
So, I looked in his ears today and he had a huge lump of wax in there. I've fished it out but it's still a bit grimy in there, so what's the best way to clean his ears? I just used water and cotton buds, but is there anything else that will clean better?
He was obviously annoyed he couldn't scratch his ear afterwards too, poor little mite
