My doggie had floppy ears when I got him. He was then already 3 and 1/2 months old. I was kind of afraid that when he is an adult, he will still run around flopping his ears. Although, like Orinskye mentioned, they are cute that way too. So I shaved his ears for the time being (the weight of hair can pull them down believe it or not) and taped them. First, I only taped them two, but they were still strengthless, so I had to make a bridge in between with a tape. I did that for a few days, alternating days so his skin can breathe. And they stood after that, like a miracle.
As for feeding, Orinskye is right. You don't want to leave all the food supply he can have out. I did that for the first several days when I got him (didn't know better). He would eat until he gets sick. He ate so much that his belly was too full to do any playing or other things and he got fat fast. So now I only give him limited supply, twice daily. He is about 3 to 4 pounds, so I give him about 2/3 cup a day. |
