I just put the dish soap in my hand and then directly on her. But it was mostly on her belly and her wings. Since it is on his face, I would maybe put some on a washcloth?? That is what I normally do for my dog when I give her a bath. That is definitely a much more difficult/sensitive area to deal with. It would probably be easier to deal with that way than trying to keep a soapy solution out of his eyes and mouth. As long as you get most of it off, I bet he will be okay. All of the oil residue came off my hen's feathers, especially after some dust baths! He sure is lucky to have such a nice neighbor!
