Is it true after cropping a doberman ears the ears dont start training to stand up after taking off the stiches? do the stiches stay on her for 2 weeks then start posting them up? My dogs Vet told me this and im not to sure i asked a cousin that knows alot about dogs and he said its right but im still not to sure. can anyone help me out with any info? i just want my pups ears to come out right! Thanks

Brian

Posting begins AFTER the stitches are removed and the ear edges are healed.

Typically responsible breeders handle the crop and first posting so the burden is not placed on the owner to handle all this stuff.

Your vet is right

Did you just get the ears cropped at 4 months of age? We'd love photos of your puppy!

Hey! I'm in the thick of this right now We got our puppy, Callie, cropped on 02/20, then had another appointment on the 28th to take the TOP 1/3 of the stitches out, then we have another appointment on 03/06 to take out the rest of the stitches. THEN a week after that we will start posting, if the edges are totally healed.

Have you looked into the recommended ear crop vets on DT? Not all vets that do crops are equal, its like art. Making the drive to one that does a good job is SO WORTH IT.
