I would just use the ear mute medicine as instructed and not worry about cleaning them out until the treatment is complete. Benadryl is not likely to cause sedation and help. You can try giving some food then doing the ears then feeding more as thisbwikk get her trained to getting medicine equates to getting food and often makes it easier
