Hi Dribbles,
I have two buns that have a difficult time cleaning their hindquarters. They get dried poop stuck to their tails and fur around theirbutts.
I try to carefully clip out what I can, with a pair of blunt-nose scissors.
The rest I first try to clean with warm water and a cloth...warm water in a spraybottle works well for this.
Really tuff stuff can be loosened up with a little baby oil....I put iton a paper towel and then work it into the spot that needs to becleaned.
Sometimes I'll take advantage and clip their nails at this time, too....if their not too stressed.
On occasion the buns have needed to have a more through cleaning, like when Rosie came to us covered in grease and oil.
I put a large towel down in the tub and get it wet with warm water...not floating, but throughly soaked.
I then put a couple of inches of water in a plastic storagecontainer...one just big enough for the bun to fit in with a littleextra room for cleaning....not tootall either.
The plastic container goes on the towel in the tub.
Bun goes in the container...clean only what needs to be cleaned DON"TSOAK THE ENTIRE BUN.....I use a bit of Dawn dishsoap ifneeded...washa=washa-rinsey=rinsey....dry-dry-dry and dry again.
Swaddle them in a warm dry blankie.
Give some treats, hugs, and kisses.
Make sure the bun stays warm and out of cold drafts until they are completely dry.
(Not a recommendation but.........Binkie loved the hair dryer on
low and warm ,
NOT hot or cool.)
