Floppy Ears My darling furbaby 'Duchess' is nearly 1 yr old (birthday 21st of this month) :bigbdaypa and she has floppy ears.I shaved the tips of them when she was younger,in an attempt to coax them to stand,but had no luck. I have heard about taping the ears? i roughly know how to do this,but would appreciate advice. As she is 1yr is there much point? and also can the vets do the taping as i dont want to hurt her!!!!!!!!!!!! |
Happy B-day to your furbaby!!!! :bigbdaypa and as for the ears I was told that after 6 or 7 mos if they dont stand up they wont at all...but it's ok, up or down theyre still lil cuties!!! :D and my lil Queen Lily's ears are one up and one half way up LOL...... ;) Queen Lily :aimeeyork & Mommy Lene :animal-pa |
Happy b-day baby!!!! i think it's probably too late but here is a web sight that I found that I feel explains it pretty well. Good luck!!! http://members.cox.net/jrogan/ears.html |
HAPPY 1st BIRTHDAY!!!!! yay!!! :hug: :cheer: :hug: :bigbdaypa :littleang As for the ears, I'm thinking it's too late too, but you can try. And it's pretty simple once you have read up on it, so I wouldn't be too worried about hurting her. Good luck!! She's precious floppy-eared or not! |
thankyou Thanks all for your replies,and thanks EASOUEIDI for the link,it was really useful.I think i will give it a go,but i dont think it will work as she is a big girl now.Never mind though she is perfect as she is,and everyone always says how cute her floppy ears are! I will post again if i do manage to get them up! :D :thumbs up |
Yes, you can still try taping. Use a bit of thin cardboard paper, then use some duct tape to wrap it around their ears. It won't hurt them and it's worked for many! Good luck! :) |
:Birthday3 Happy Birthday, Duchess! Good luck on the ear taping. Post your progess; I'm curious to see if it works. |
I had a yorkie who had floppy ears. I shaved them and taped them when she was a puppy, but it just wasn't meant to be. They say if you tape their ears, by six months you still have a chance. Her being a year old, her ears probably will stay floppy. Some yorkies ears are just to long or heavy. Although I was dissapointed at first that my yorkie's ears never went up, I still love her the same, and learned to love her floppy ears. There are alot of yorkies with floppy ears and they look just as cute if not more, than a yorkie whose ears are up. |
Ear Taping Ok so Duchess has had the tape on for nearly 2 days now,i managed to tape them myself,and i was really pleased at what a good job i did! :D Anyway she has pulled them off twice,so i have had to keep re-taping them! My boyfriend thinks im crazy,and 1 old lady down town and came over and said 'why is your dogs ears bandaged up,what did she do?has she hurt them?' She looks really funny!!! will have to post a pic soon! Duke is scared to death of her and wont go near her! and Gypsy-Rose is her partner in crime and keeps trying to pull the tape off! Her ears havent moved at all yet,she has long big ears and i dont really think its going to work! Neva mind,floppy or standing she is my adorable baby! :tinyheart |
Happy Bday :) yay !! :) (( Hugs )) |
Awwww, the floppy ears are so cute. My Gizmo had them. I just thought his ears were too big to stand up. |
floppy ears 1 Attachment(s) I taped my Petey's ears when he was young and managed to get ONE to stand up. Now he has one floppy and one up, he's so cute! |
