We don't touch the ears! As the pup grows older we clip the hair off the tip of the ears (front and back) only to make sure the ears go up. But no cutting of the ears!
And yes the forceps cause a numbing effect after it is on a little while, since the pups stop crying. I was told by my vet I worked for to learve the clamps on for 10 - 15 min. This seals the skin together so no need for stitches.
