Do ya'll have any tips on applying the drops? She's not amused

You can try wrapping her in a towel to apply the drops. Might be a 2-person operation. Some folks here have tried the "freezing" method using clothespins rather than the binder clip shown here

I strongly encourage you to hold off on further dog introductions until she has been in quarantine at least 2 wks. Especially important now that she is undergoing treatment. Doesn't matter if she's met dogs before. She's in a new environment with new smells and sounds and needs time to acclimate and to bond with you and other human family members. She may well have other health issues that will come to the fore in quarantine and you don't want to find yourself having to treat your cat and your dog. Better safe than sorry.

I would guess that Sahara is somewhere in the F6 range.

That is the method I use...

Giving ear drops is almost as bad as giving eye drops. Try doing it while she's eating or otherwise distracted.

Thank you! I was hoping for another method other then the towel .. She wasn't having it but I'll keep trying.

She is still separated from the dog. We have at least another week)

Thanks so much!!

I have a F2 that had ear mites as a kitten and has excess ear wax as an adult. If I can catch him in a half asleep mode I can clean his ears now. I think he even likes it sometimes.

Good luck!

Rufio had some scaling in the ears, as a young kitten. I would apply the ointment with my finer as part of the great meet & greet ritual, we go through, in the morning and when home from work. have the meds handy, do the love and rub, massaging his majestic ears and then dab some meds and rub it in.

I also had to give him some cold med drops, and did the same thing. In both cases I'd then fill the food dish and mix up their wet/dry mixed food. So any discomfort experienced from being treated, was quickly furgotten once chow down commenced.

I did get some in this morning during her feeding! She loves her Wild Callings wet and barely noticed the drops.. Barely .

Is that how you got them to grow so tall and majestic? Daily massage?
