Breathe Right Strips

Suri is 5.5 months old and the bases of her ears are really strong although the tips are a little weak. I am going to attempt to use the Breathe Right Strips but have no clue how to apply them. Please help me because I don't know what I am doing.

Thanks so much!

I bought some Skin Bond to help them stick better. If you don't use it, they tend to fall off pretty quickly after a day or so.

I follow the directions on the Skin Bond, which is to apply a layer of adhesive to both surfaces - in this case, the ear and the strip - then let dry for 5 minutes (though I usually don't wait the full 5 mins).

Make sure you know the right place to stick it. When Suri doesn't have her ears erect, make a note of where the ear folds. You don't want to put the strip down past that or she will have trouble folding her ears back. I use the regular size Breathe Right strips (not the large), and just put one end at the tip of the ear and it never reaches down past the fold anyway, so you should be fine.

Then you just stick the strip onto the ear and adhesive and hold it there, making such it is completely stuck in place. And viola! you're done.

Watch for the ears leaning or looking too floppy. If this happens, you should continue posting.

Sorry for the double post but I just took these pics to help illustrate where I put the Breathe Right strips on the ears.

Dobegirl you read my mind. I was reading this post and thought to myself "if I only knew where to buy skin bond Rock's Breathe rights would last a lot longer" I'm going to try walgreens today. I'll let you know if I get some.

I ordered mine through my work's account with Butler Animal Health Supply. It was about $20 (clinic cost), if I remember correctly. I know it's hard to find at regular drug stores and stuff, so I finally tracked it down through Butler. Maybe your vet will place a special order for you?

I tracked it down at a Medicine Shoppe near me. They're a national chain, so you may have luck with that.
