DONE posting!!

I've been waiting to post this until I knew for sure, but I am finally happy to announce that Red's ears are DONE!

He's been without Breathe Right strips for about 2 weeks now, and all is well. I can tell as time goes on that the ears are getting less floppy when he runs too. We still watch him when he sleeps to make sure he isn't sleeping funny on his ears though, just in case.

I think he misses having his ears posted because of the yummy treats he would get, but we can still do ear cleaning the same way, so he doesn't miss out, lol. He's so funny, when I sit down by the ear stuff, he lays down right in front of me and rests his head in my lap, and sits so nice for me to do his ears! He's such a good boy

Anyway, just had to share!

this might sound dumb, but what were you using breathe right strips for?

MaryAndDobes · 09-28-2007, 11:36 AM

Sometimes Breathe Right strips are used when just the tips need support.

JavasMom · 09-28-2007, 11:43 AM

TA DA!!! Good for you both!

Even after posting, we'd put a Breathe-Rite strip vertically up the inside of the ear (sometimes on on each side) if it looked as though the ear looked like it might not be quite there yet (ie tip leaning in the tiniest bit).

**Burns** · 09-28-2007, 11:45 AM

yeah, the strips were for supporting the weak tips after the rest of the ear was strong enough to stand, but I took them off because it seemed like they were over-supporting his right ear which made it tilt inwards, and adding extra weight to his left ear making it droop a little. So I took them off and the ears have been fine ever since.

Ok, here are the pics you requested. Hot off the press

Gosh he is so wonderful!! He is such a pretty male. Whoever cropped his ears did an excellent job! Congrats on being done posting...I am done as well...YAY!

could someone send me a pic of their dog with the breathe right strip in? I've never heard of that but it sounds awesome and I'd really like to used them on Lexx when he is ready to take the posts out!
