New to the Forum Hello there, I just joined the forum to try and get in touch with other yorkie owners. My husband presented me with the most wonderful gem this past Sunday...Madame Buttercup. She's so awesome. I've never experienced such loyalty and love as I do from Buttercup....she's always with me. She makes my heart melt. I'm so thrilled to be a yorkie owner! :) One question.....Buttercup is 9 weeks old and her ears are still drooping. I've been reading about shaving and taping....how do I shave her ears and what does this do to help her ears perk? Take care all..and thank you in advance for your advice. |
Hey. Welcome to the forum! I'm not sure about how to shave your babie's ears, but I'm sure someone here can help you. This site is addicting. Lol. Good Luck!:D |
Welcome to YorkieTalk!:) |
Welcome you will get addicted as much as i am. |
Welcome!! the extra hair could be weighing her ears down so I just get those little scissors and cute the hair off. you need to do it along the upside down v and on front and back! Along the v i use my finger as a guide so i dont clip her ears but get it pretty low just be very careful!!! I also massage the ears every day as much as i can till they start standing!! i heard it helps the circulation! |
Hello and welcome--- i have not been here long but have learned so much!!! and i am totally addicted!!!! I let our groomer shave Ollies ears and i never taped them..... he is 8 months and they never stood up--but we adore his floppy ear look. I have learned that sometimes their ears will stand then go back down when they are teething. I have read several different ways to tape them but have no experience so i will let another member share that info. good luck |
Welcome to YT! |
Hi....Warm Welcome to you and Buttercup!!! You will really enjoy it here on YT! |
Hello and welcome:) |
A very warm welcome to you, I hope you have a great time here, just ask away:D. I am relatively new here myself.....I just post a lot LOL |
Welcome! You can also shave the ears completely on the front and back. Looks funny for a little while but it gets the weight off so they can stand on their own! Use a mustache trimmer or clippers. |
I haven't dealt with shaving, but I know from experience that massaging the ears everyday works! It took about two weeks of massaging every night for about 20 minuets each, but it worked. Welcome to YT, you will love it here! |
hi and Welcome to yt:) |
Welcome. I love the name Butter Cup! :) |
