Untaped Gunner's ears...

No one?? Would it help if I got some pics? I really need to know if I'm wasting my time with trying to post them or not...the vet gave me such a grim prediction. I just need to know what I should expect to see after the first week of taping....

They should stand. It takes weeks & sometimes months before they stand for good. Depends on the cut & length.

All pups are diffrent my boy ears stood for about an hour after his first rewrap. Hes four months has a show crop and they have been standing for almost a week waiting for a lil scab to heal.
In a nut shell i wouldnt be worried feed him a good food, keep up with posting. And they will stand

Pictures are always welcome

I just wouldn't trust what that vet said. If I remember correctly, they'd been recently cropped, the the vet was talking about recrops and implants? Bah. Posting takes time, but certainly take heart in the fact that they seem firmer already!

After 1 week of posting... My boy's ears weren't even close to standing... and he has a fairly large bell (large to some people)

Thanks everyone...I guess i was just hoping to see more improvement but I know it's only been one week. *sigh* Darn that stupid vet!!

It really depends on the dog. I've had some whose ears were as limp as noodles the first few times I took the posts out-no big deal, the ears were standing by 6 months of age or so.

I know how yo ufeel, but dont give up, and dont expect too much too fast. Just be persistent, and keep posting. If you are having problems with him pulling the tampons apart try finding some of the backer rod and using that, I believe it can be found around the air conditioning supplies in Home Depot .. or ask an employee where it is. Its a bit easier than the tampons to use. I can remember having to use the tampons on my girl Mysti many years back, and then using the backer rod on my Bella, and the difference is amazing in terms of how much easier it was now.
I'm looking forward to seeing more pics of your little guy. I bet he looks handsome.

there is a good sticky with the posting method using backer rods i believe

The first time we took out the posts, Nova had one ear flopped over and the other ear kinda stood up but was over the top of her head. Don't worry, just keep posting, just keep posting (sing it like Dory LOL).

I took a pic of his ears afte being untaped...I will post it here later when I've had my coffee

jagers ears were floppy just like your pup at 13 wks he has a long crop and now with diligent posting are standing beautifully and 5.5 months so post on.
