Title: How to stop canuaral making fur sticky....
Post by: JackSpratt on October 26, 2009, 21:33:41 PM

Like it says in the title, really. Obviously most of it is going in an ear, but there's always some that leaks out and makes the fur clumpy. Advice please!

Tesco fragrance free baby wipes JS.  They worked for my mom's cat Susan

Are baby wipes OK to use on cats? I have some Johnsons ones, but was worried about using them.

try using thornit powder instead.  works much quicker and much cleaner to use.  cats prefer it too as they not left with gunky ears

Hmmm. I'll remember that and request it for next time, but seeing as the last vet visit wiped me out and I don't get paid until tomorrow that might have to wait. ;)

Thanks Sarah, will keep it in mind. Canaural is so messy.
