hi i was the one that got the reply about using the inside of a tampon to help my coco's ear's go up. haven't tried it yet but i did try something else i used card board cut down to the size of his ears. wrapped that with regular paper tape because it doesn't pull the hair out then wrapped both ears with 2 inch mascene tape. did it for about a week they stayed up for one day but now thier back down. but they are going up little by little naturally. i'm just going to keep them shaved. i think it will work just to keep them shaved. i think it will take longer than taping them but atleast he won't be uncomfortable.hope this helps!
