Hi, please don’t use fairly liquid. It is too harsh for their sensitive skin. We recommend coconut oil to clean the grease gland

Ok, thank you
Hi
Please use coconut oil whenever you are dealing with a dirty overactive grease gland. Keep in mind that the more often you clean a grease gland, the more you stimulate it. If something doesn't look right or there are strange growths/crusts that do not come off, please see a vet.
