Hi there! I have to give my kitty ear drops for an ear yeast infection . I wrap her up and massage below her ear after putting them in but she shakes her head and it comes out. Any suggestions on how to do this better ,? :) thank you

Hello, it sounds like you are doing the treatment perfectly! Great job! You will never get her to not shake her head after treatment. She will lose some of the medication from shaking but I guarantee you enough is staying in the ear. Hope this helps. Best wishes!
