| Ear Taping I have heard about yorkie ear taping and wondered if anyone else has tried it. I recently started using it on athena with GREAT results and little bother from her. She doesn't seem to notice the tape at all. Has anyone else done this? Any thoughts?

| Yes, I've tried it. It worked for awhile and then they started to droop again so I've had to re-tape when the hair on her ears grows back. I'll probably have to do it again as they tilt at the very tip. Sophie doesn't care much for it so I've been rather lax about it. She looks cute either way. I have a photo in her album of her ears taped.

| I taped Tucket's ears at 8 weeks for about half a day. He didn't seem to mind it but I got worried about the gauze getting stringy so I took it off. It wasn't two weeks later that his ears came up on their own. I don't know if we conditioned the muscles enough when taping to make them do that or if they just did it but they are up. Yorkies are cute either way but I think they show so much more expression when their ears are up. I just adopted one with floppy ears and I love him just as much |
