This will help to keep the nozzle and medication from being contaminated before the next application. Deliver the proper amount of medication into the ear canal. If the medicine is liquid, this is usually specified in a number of drops from a squeeze bottle. If the medicine is an ointment, then the proper amount may be specified differently. Make certain to aim the nozzle tip towards the opening of the ear canal so the medication actually gets into this area. Once the medication is delivered gently massage the base of the ear to make sure the medication is evenly distributed. Use a piece of tissue or a paper towel to wipe any medication that has spilled down the ear onto the fur. A dog's first instinct when you put medicine in its ear is to shake its head. After that initial shake, try to keep the dog from excessively shaking his or her head for a few minutes in order to give the medication time to work. You can release the dog if you don't think it will go wild, but try distracting the dog with gentle play or a food treat or even a short, slow leash walk. Once again, wipe around the ear to remove any excess drops that have drained from the ear. Make sure to give the medication to the dog as long as the label directions instruct. Failure to do so may result in not fully eradicating the problem and may even make the infection stronger by building its resistance to the medication.

SUMMARY: Carefully aim the nozzle's opening toward the ear canal's opening. Squeeze the tube or bottle gently. Massage the outside of the ear canal. Hold the dog steady for awhile. Apply medication for as long as prescribed.

It's not about putting others down. Don't be afraid to show off all of your positive qualities. One of the best ways to build your confidence is to remind yourself that there are lots of things that make you great. Make a list of your good qualities. Are you good at soccer? Write it down. Are you a good listener for your friends? Put it on the list. You can use your positive attributes to help you come up with sassy comebacks. For example, if someone teases you for being a nerd, say "Yup, but all my 'nerdy' good grades are going to look fantastic on my college applications!" Finding a new way to spend your time is an excellent way to build your self-esteem. Think about how great it feels to master a new skill. You feel proud of yourself and like you can take on the world. Figure out a new club to join or a new sport to try. Have you always felt like you might have an artistic side?

Ask a friend to learn to play tennis with you, or ask your sister to take a walk with you after dinner. Take some time to think about what you do best. Maybe you are a good writer or maybe you are an excellent swimmer. Make a list of the things you are good at. Then reflect on whether or not you are devoting enough time to honing your skills. When you're doing something you're good at, it's natural that it will boost your confidence and make you feel great about yourself. Set aside time each week to devote to developing your skills.
