We need to put ointment in Smudge's eyes twice a day for 7 days and she HATES it!
DH wraps her in a towel, and I hold her head still, open her eye wide, then try to get the ointment in. But then she squirms as soon as the ointment starts coming out of the tube. Or the ointment curls around rather than coming straight out, so doesn't actually go down, it kind of gets stuck around the tube. If you've tried using ointment you probably know what I mean....
Any other suggestions? I tried holding her while DH did the ointment - he though I was just being hopeless, but discovered it's not easy!!
I'm almost considering taking her down to the shelter every morning so at least she gets one good squirt of ointment in her eyes every day!
