I have been doing a lot of research trying to find out what to use to remove all the ointment from Kirby's ears, head, neck and face. We have 3 more days left on the Animax Ointment for both ears so I'd like to be able to start cleaning him up without bathing him. He doesn't get his stitches out till Sept. 7th so I have to wait till after that for a full grooming on the 8th.
I have found a variety of answers in my research and I can't say I'm thrilled with any of them, but I do want to get as much ointment off as possible. Here are some of the things used : Dawn Dish Detergent is the number one product suggested, Gojo Antibacterial Foam Hand Soap, Clarifying Shampoo, Shampoo for Oily Hair, Oatmeal Shampoo, Hydrogen Pyroxide and Vinegar. Corn starch was also suggested, but I remember someone warning me not to do that as it made their dog's hair come out and honestly with the heaviness of the ointment on the outside of his ears I think any powder would add so much weight to the hair that it wouldn't be good.
Has anyone removed ointment from their Fluff's hair and what did you use?
