And they say ear cropping is bad.... LOL!!!!!!
   LMAO!Sorry Whiz had to !!!! No idea I wouldn't even want to try. You could use clippers and try clipping instead, would be easier. Maybe ???

I will follow your professional opinions LOL
I would feel much better clipping than plucking!! Tomorrow is bath day AKA SPA DAY. We'll see how it goes  Hopefully I will locate the USB cable so I can post some pics-Joe is HUGE! He is already thigh high!

I use a tiny bit of baby powder to make it easier to grasp then pull it out gently and clean the area with a cotton ball. But normally my groomer just does it for me though. Lilly has never had an ear infection so far but I always feel mean plucking her ears!

If you're using your fingers, powder will help get a firmer grip. If you use hemostats however you will get a better grip and be able to pull more hair at one time (quicker). Personally I would'nt recommend clippers, too easy to injure tender tissue aruond and inside the ear.

I use rounded hemostats and I go real slow. If you clip the very tender skin inside the ear, it will be much harder the next time. To avoid any irritation or inflamation, I squeeze a couple of drops of Synotic in each ear after I'm done. This is what an ear specialist recommended (animal specialist). Synotic is a prescription.
