Aww poor Bubba!

I have never plucked ears before...never had to...but the powder I have seen used is Bio-Groom Ear Fresh. http://www.petmountain.com/product/c...sh-powder.html

Make sure you don't clean out the ears too often, either. Every two weeks is sufficient, otherwise you will have a continuously moist environment for bacteria to thrive in. What kind of meds are you on? Tresaderm?

If Bubba will let you do it...try getting some extra long q-tips for when you clean the ears. Squirt the cleaner into the ear, and clean out the extra wax with the q-tips. You cannot go too far into a dogs ear, the ear canal is in the shape of an L, with the drum being at the end. So you will end up hitting the wall of the ear canal eventually, and you can't harm it. So don't be afraid of that. Good luck to you Bubba! Hope this clears up!
