When you use glue, the pup doesn't have some clunky piece of tape up there on his ears that he is just dying to get off, that can actually do more damage to the ear (they can burst the blood vessels in the ear etc., just trying to get that off the ear. However, with glue they don't even realize that it is on the ear.
And if you have a couple of pups, the ears can really take some serious injuries from the other pups trying to get the tape off. So, you may want to research using glue.
Share the types of glue. I use surgical glue. Build a brace form out of the back of a check book cover. Making sure the form matches the outline of the ear. Add a breath rite strip for a brace. Add surgical glue and glue the form into the inside of the ear. Although I have used breathable medical tape with great sucess too.
