I have a rescued GSDX rescue. She is mighty. Used to get along well with Vet staff and starting to get finicky now. 3 years old.
I do ear nuggies lightly with my knuckles and also rub her ears. So putting a natural ear cleaner that I squirt in goes well. Then I do her ear rubbing to move and loosen goo. She will generally shake her head to release anything but I can also wipe.

I try to get her used to being touched. Like on her paws and nails. On her ears.

A far as the leg goes, yes...needs a look see. My Anastasia had a serious issue and now has an implant. An unusual condition though made in the womb and aggravated by being dumped in a TX bayou to die. She was tri-podding so...

I think we will probably have to have the vet put him under so they can check both the leg and ear more thoroughly. BlueKota Apr 2024 #8

Like PlutosHeart does. Use an ear cleaner and start with a few drops in the good ear. RainCaster Apr 2024 #17
