So, Kirby is 6 mons old and he weighs 8.4 lbs. He is obviously not having any pain from his surgical site from neutering based on his activity.
He has ear infections in both ears and I have to put ointment in once a day. My son and I tried doing this in the morning. I put him on his grooming table and my son had some treats and was also trying to keep his head steady. Kirby went so nutty that he not only went flying off the table and by the grace of God I caught him mid air but he also knocked over the table :smilie_tischkante:
The Vet tech called at noon to see how he was today and I told her what happened when I put the ointment in one ear. She told me to give him his sedative earlier tonight around 7pm and to wait until 9pm and that the sedative would make it easier. I gave it to him at 7pm and by 7:30 he was sound asleep, so I figured....ok I'll just put him up on the table and do this myself..........WRONG :blink::angry: He started going bonkers the minute I got near his ear and I could not hold him with one arm, it was like trying to hold a 500 lb slippery gorilla :sweatdrop:
I went to put everything away and Kirby put himself in the crate and went to sleep :innocent:
The good news is my daughter came home at 8:30 and by then the sedative really had a hold of him and I was able to get the ointment in his ears :chili::chili:
During the time when I wasn't sure what time my daughter would be home and if I was going to have to try to put the ointment in by myself again I googled "How to put ear drops in small dogs" and found this website

It even has a Maltese in the photo, but read Instruction #1 and please tell me who can hold their Malt with their knees????:OMG!:
I don't know about everyone else's Malt but when Kirby doesn't want to be restrained he has the strength of a BULL
I've been saying this since he was 5 lbs "He is 5 lbs of FIERCE" :blink: Honestly, how can something so little be so crazy strong???:smstarz:
I would love to hear about your experiences with how strong your little Fluffanutter is... or is it just me :blush:
