Hi all!  I now have a question!  Yes, I said a question!  Not a funny
short story.  That comes later.  Mr. Artemus, our albino boy has a
problem with ear wax.  I clean his ears out, at least one time every
two weeks.  However, whenever I do - he has filthy gunk coming out.  It
isn't like an infection gunk, just a lot of dirty wax.
 
I am concerned about ear mites - but my guys don't go outside - and I
don't know how he would have gotten them.  Also - he doesn't scratch
them, doesn't do the "head shake" like a fert does when they DO have ear
mites.  He just seems to have an inordinate amount of wax build up.
 
Does anyone else deal with this?  If so - how do you keep their ears
clean?  When I clean them out - I usually use olive oil, on the end of a
Q-tip.  Works great on getting the gunk out!  I just want to know is this
usual?  My other two babies don't have NEAR the amount of crud he
does......any advice kiddo's?  Let me know and thanks!
