Animal Smiley 049 Get 'em up!

Taping ears to stand erect is an art and therefore should be done by someone skilled other wise you can wind up w/ kinked or dented ears and so on.
I personally would have them taped at this point. The ears should have been shaved, not quite w/ a surgical blade, but one up from that so that there is next to nothing there...they should feel velvety w/, like I said...no long hair at all. Just low enough to cover the skin and that's it! As she gets older you can allow more growth on the ear, but for now imo you should take off as much as you can handle and just cope w/ her looking goofy for a few weeks while those ears are encouraged to follow their genetic lead. She encroaching on the age where you should give it a few days yet and see what they do, and if they're not rising, take her to someone (vet, breeder...) who is experienced w/ taping!
