Standing ears.... Sheldon's right ear is starting to droop. They were standing a few weeks, but now it's droopy. I know this isn't a big deal for most, but I want his ears to stay erect if possible. I did trim the hair on the top third of his ear, and it's a bit better. I have considered taping, but since I've not done it, it seems it may be difficult with a wiggly pup. I've read a few techniques for taping on the web, but was wondering if anyone had any simplifying tips for me? Or do you think the ear will perk back up? Any thoughts are much appreciated.
And, just as a side note for anyone who is curious, he is doing FANTASTIC. I'm grateful that the first few days have been rather easy. He crates well, he uses a potty pad and goes outside, is pretty good with recall, eats and sleeps well, loves the kids. He is just such a joy already. |
