Anyone had any luck with that. He is extremely hyper right now and I am afraid he may not like the taping.. Any suggestions?? If they both flopped it would be okay, but just one floppy ear looks uneven

Thanks!!
ziggy's ears flopp and prick from time to time. i am helping them out by shaving the top 2 3rds of his ears. It takes about 2 days, then they are fully erect again. i do believe its the hair. try it, it works for us.

oh and im too nervous to shave him so i cut it while he's sleeping..

hope that help
