Clean Ears
Posted to: Health & Grooming
How clean do their ears need to be? I wipe our Wes's ears with a damp paper towel/ear wipe from the pet store, but I can't seem to get rid of all the gunk... It is not that there is so much, rather that there is just a little, and it is all in the very small crevices that I can't quite totally...
