Hi All, Had my pup just about a month now and I have basically had to repost his ears (using backer rod method) every day. On two occasions they lasted two nights but that has been the max. I’ve taken all the tips that I’ve seen on here, pencil-like ends, screw all the way in, pull the ear taut...

Hey everyone ! This is my first time posting my 3 month old dobbie's ears, I was wondering if this looks okay. I'm paranoid about not doing it properly, any advice is appreciated. I started 3 days ago with paper tape along with medical tape, now I'm using this "Self Stick Adhesive Tape Roll...

Hi guys, first time owner here Pup has been with us for 4/5 days and it’s time to post his ears up. I let him settle in the house for a bit and kept touching all parts of him during especially his ears so when we go to post he would be comfortable. This seemed to work as when we got him on the...

I use the backer rod method, but with straws instead to keep it light, but stiff. I used to wrap smaller straws with gauze to pad and allow give, but now i use a larger straw and no padding on the sides. I wrap a 3 × 3 gauze pad around the end for padding in the bell of the ear tape the straw...

I just took off her postings so I could shower her but they were wet from the bottom where it was in her ear. Is that bad?

I need to wash my puppy but how long should I wait to post her ears again?

So my vet recommended that I post the ears for a week and let them breath for 2-3 days. Is this a good idea or should I continuously post them ?

I've read countless times to post pup's ears at 10 and 2. When i look at the pinned ear posting tutorials, their puppies have straight posts. It helps to hold the ear at 10 and 2 in order to get the post in, but even if my original taping is mostly vertical, within a day or two, his ears are...

Hello friends, I am from India. I am a first time dog owner. Yesterday (31th August), I cropped my 78 day old puppies ears. He had short ears, so I went in for long crop. I thought what's the point of medium or short crop if his ears are small. The vet wants to take off the stitches after 8...

I picked up my pup today after her ear crop. She was 100 miles an hour, as usual. I asked the tech why her ears were not racked. He told me that they would stand on their own. I said, no they won't, but he insisted. Is this something new? I previously had a female that was racked for 3-4...

[EDIT] I'm posting again because I realized I have previously posted this in the wrong subtopic. Sorry for that. Hey there. I know there are probably 1000 topics similar to this one, and I have read them all. Okay, so let me start off by saying that I have a 7-month-old male Doberman. We've...

Omg ... here we go! I am going to attempt to post Zeus's ears tonight. They are totally healed. They probably have been for about a week now, but I wanted to make extra super sure! And now I'm re-reading through all the posts and replies that were made previously when I had all sorts of...

Hello there! Question about ears... My puppy's ears are getting cropped, and the vet office said he'll come home with his ears racked and they offer re-racking after the stitches are out as a free service up to a limited number of services. I've never heard of racking or racks and have only...

Hi when I talked to the local vet about crop style I asked for a short crop, what he got was a lot longer than what I expected of a short crop so I'm still posting at 5.5months old. Ears seems to be standing correctly when in an alert state. What worries me is a sort of "breakpoint" about half...

Hello, I have a Doberman who is a little less than a year old now, I got his ears cropped when he was around 10 weeks old at very reputable vet here in Northern California whom had great reviews from others. But as soon as I took a look at his ears after they had healed I and many other...

So Piper's ears are continually close, but never quite there. She is young yet, only 4 months, but everything but the tips had been up since after the first week of posting. Even the tips were happy and stayed up for a few 4 day stretches after that first week... Until she started teething...
