Hey guys, new to the site. I'm on my second week of rolling the ears on my 16 week red male. My vet rolls them on Saturday, I leave the, up until Tuesday, take them down and then go back on Saturday. Basically, three days up, three days down.
The first week went fine, he doesn't like the cone or bandages, but what dog does right? Minor scabs at the base of the ear that fell off naturally a couple days after taking them down. The second week, I started to unroll the left ear and there is a large open scab about half the size of a penny, there are also much smaller open wounds on the top of his ears on the front and on the back. Four total open bloody wounds. The pup does not care about them at all, thank goodness. He just wanted me to stop holding him down so he could go play.
I called my aunt who has limited animal health knowledge, she suggested I wipe away the blood with peroxide and then apply neosporan and put the cone back on, so I did and the pup is chewing his bone and playing around the house as normal. The wounds are not bleeding anymore.
Questions:
Is this a normal problem? Did the vet roll them wrong causing this? Is my aunts advice correct?
