| Use a beard/mustache trimmer to shave the top 1/3 of the ear, inside and out. On the outside, do the shave in the shape of a V. Fold the ear so the side come together and the ear is standing, then secure that with some scotch tape. Too loose and it won't stay on, too tight could cut off circulation. Think of pressing the sides of a tortilla together, without putting a crease in the back. Then stand it on end. That is kind of what the finished product looks like. There is a thread here with drawings but I can't find it! Leave the ear taped for three days then remove the tape and see what you have. If the ear is still floppy, go ahead and repeat the tape for three days. I did this with Gracie and less than 24 hours later, she had taken the tape off and her ear was standing. Good luck! If I missed any steps or said anything wrong, someone please correct me! |
