I am from Stillwater, OK...home of the OSU Cowboys and a very good Vet School. We own a Taekwondo school here in town and 1 of our students worked at a Vet Clinic here and recommended that we take Bentley to a Dr. Woodall....I called the office and he was out of town til yesterday so we made an appt to get his ears taped. When I got there the receptionist asked if I had or needed to get his ears cropped. The next taping a different Dr. did it (we had to go back the next day because it was a poor job) That vet asked prior to seeing him if I had his ears cropped. Then yesterday I took him w/ me to the school to drop off some stuff and another person asked, this one was a vet student...
I don't understand, I can't find anything online about cropping yorkies, but it keeps coming up around here?? Are they just getting confused, since these are all people who have vet backgrounds I would figure they would know if it isn't done.
Sorry this is long, I have just been wondering for days now and thought you all would be the best to know!!  |
Never cropp their ears, never, never never.
How old is he?
You also be careful of taping them.
1st Shave the backs of the ears to an upside down "V" shape.
2nd tape the ears, then connect the ears with tape in the center.
The tape in between the ears will hold each other up.
Depending on his age, it may take a few weeks. Be patient they will stand on their own, without cutting them.
I'll look up and PM you a website that has a diagram on how to do this.
The Vet sounds like he doesn't know Yorkie standards, never crop, never.
Good luck
