I was using Hydrogen Peroxide and the vet said to never use it around the mouth because it induces vomiting, and she said to use the rubbng alcohol. Sigh. I just want to do what is right for my boy. Now I am very confused! I'll use whichever is best. I have bottles of both.

He has forgiven me though! He was sitting in my office with me, and I laid on the floor next to him... he didn't run, and laid there allowing me to pet him. He even started to purr! I do think he realizes this is for his own good. He must feel better after tonight's cleaning - the pressure must have been tremendous since they came out so easily and bled so much. They must really hurt and itch. Imagine how he feels, not being able to clean them himself. Poor big guy.
