My bishon has a terrible ear infection, and the Vet has given me ear drops, but I just cannot get the dog to allow me to put them in his ear.  He is now to the point that he wants to bite me when I'm trying to put the drops in.  It's also gotten to the point where he does not want me to touch his ear.  Can you please advise me of any tips/tricks that have worked.

After 2 seeks of my futile attempts, the Vet gave me antibiotics today, but told me that the drops are best at clearing up the yeast in the ear.

Thanks for your advice.

We has a similar problem with our bichon. I finally wrapped her in a large bath towel, which limited her mobility. I found the middle of the towel and draped it under her chin and across her chest wrapping the ends of the towel across her back. This worked like a charm. Hope it works for you.

My bishon has been coughing since i got him 2 months ago. My vet puts him on an antibotic, but it does not seem to help.
he seems healthy, just the cough, other then that he is a wonder little puppy.  

When can he start getting groomed,  Does he have to loose his puppy hair first?
