Yorkie ears My five month old yorkie has one ear up for about 3 weeks. I taped the other ear 3 days ago and today when I took off the tape her ear is bruised looking and slightly thicker than the other ear. Help!!! |
Hmmm...I wonder if you taped it too tight, or wrong or something. Keep a very, very close eye on the ear to make sure the bruising goes away -- bc if you cut off the actual circulation or anything, you may need to see a vet. How to tape ears: http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/pup...-stand-up.html |

As much as I would love my girl's ears to perk up, I'm at least happy that they are about half perked, enough to reduce ear infection probs. The one time I tried to "tape" her ears, which was more like having something snug around them (I dare not actually put tape directly on her), didn't work as well as I originally hoped. But that was alright, sometimes she lays a certain way and it keeps her ears up, but we've had a yorkie in the past that eventually stood up most of the time. We just massaged the ears often, which he enjoyed lol. Every so often her ears lay so low she looks very puppy-like but most of the time it's half up and sometime almost fully up. As long as she doesn't have ear infections or issues I'm good with it :P |
+1 Wylie's mom just what I was thinking.... Swelling from the taping. Make sure the tip of the ear is shaved! Makes for easier standing!!!!!! |

Um.. ouch. When I first brought Chewie home, I could see right through the tops of her ears. I mean blood vessels and everything, light on the other side. I'm not a dog, nor is my skin as thin as her ears were at that point. I can tell you that tape hurts like HELL on me, and considering puppies don't have a lot of hair on the ears.. OUCH. Chewie's ears are straight up, and she was lopsided for a good three weeks when we brought her home. Even after they stayed up, until about 8 weeks ago that one ear would slightly flop down. I wouldn't worry about it. Poor puppy! I'm sorry, I don't mean to be mean, it's just.. ouch. :( |
