Any tips for cleaning a mucky bum?

Okay, it's happened. Two of my Isa Brown's have developed the oh-so-glorious mucky bum (or whatever it's officially called) - any ideas? I don't have that salt stuff...so. Yeah. Help!?!?

I would fill a basin with warm soapy water (Dawn would be great, or any mild soap) and soak her for 10 or 20 minutes, with some swishing about. Often they relax and seem to enjoy this, once they get over the initial jolt.

You also need to be patient & gentle. I used plain warm water with a q-tip and cotton ball. It seems like it took forever to take off but it finally did.

Sounds good. Will do that tomorrow when I get home.
