Purple-y swollen ear tips?

5832 Views 15 Replies 9 Participants Last post by  jatango
I think I may have been taping wonder's ear tips just a little too tight. The tips seem thickened and are a bit on the purple side. Should I just tape everything but the tips, or leave the ears down for a bit? Is it okay if they flop at this age? They don't have sores or anything, they just seem thick and look tender and a little bruised. :(

Go to the vet. That is the only problem with using vetwrap for ears. It shrinks..... The longer it is on, and if it gets moist, it shrinks. You have to almost put on loose, so that when it tightens up, it wont be to tight. It sounds like you lost circulation in the tips. They dont look "that" bad from the picture, but it is hard to tell from the picture.... I would go to the vet or contact your breeder and see what you need to do from here on out. You for sure want to keep the tips within the tape though, taping below them is another way to lose circulation.
