I even tried like the vet. suggested a wrap her in a blanket, no can do...

I called the vet. back and she said leave her alone until we get her blood results back if many of you remember Gucci had liver shunt operation last year, so I have to be careful they don't like to give her oral medications for it will pass through the liver.. Now I am a nervous wreck, I am leaving for Niagra Falls tomorrow for the weekend, and my kids will be home with her.... Any good suggestions ?, did anyone have to put ear drops in if so how did you do it! Poor little Gucci has them red and yucky! but she didn't show any signs .. I feel like a bad mommy for I didn't notice it.

Oh Gina, i am sorry little Gucci has an ear infection, it's very painful as you know, poor baby.

I had to put drops in my friends yorkies ears because she also couldnt get it right, no way would she sit/lay still for her, so i took her, held her head with 1 hand tight up against my chest, so she couldnt turn her head or shake, and put the drops down.
If that doesnt work then try (i know this sounds terrible) but take a bath towel, wrap her body up against yours, so she just cant get away, and try it that way, easiest would be for you to sit on the sofa, and Gucci tied to you, in the towel.

Good luck girl, and i hope she feels better very soon!!

Hugs to Gucci.
