You cut painters tape (what you use to tape off when painting) into a triangle about the size of the inside of the dogs ear. I would make it two or three layers thick. I would take Joey to the groomer to shave his ear. She only charged $3.00 to do it. you put the tape on the inside of the ear and take another piece of tape, just long enought to wrap around the ear to secure the triangle. Be sure to take the tape off every 3 days to allow the ears to breathe. After about 15 weeks of age, I would secure the two ears with a strip of tape running from one ear to the other. Joey's ears didn't stand until he was about 20 weeks. Teething does have alot to do with the ears standing. If you tape them for a few days and they stand but then fall, I wouldn't worry too much as it seems the teething could be a problem. His ears would be standing, then if he would get tired they would fall. Massaging the ears is also very good for them. I used the blue tape and my family and friends started calling him BLUE Ugh... to be picked on. Good Luck, hope they stand soon. |
