| Ear taping, What type of tape? My Lilys ears are up one day and down the next, I have tried using masking tape to stand up her ears but she ripes it off within a couple hours. I am not sure what other types are safe. I know not duck tape, mailing tape has a strong smell. Help! I really want her ears to stand because she has already had a yeast infection in them from my other baby chewing on her ears. I tell him no but everytime I am not around her ears get wet from him. I have even tried putting that yuck spray on her ears but he seems to like it. She still is very cute with floppy ears but I want to give it my all before I give up. Please help! I my I also want to say hello to everyone, I am new!! |

| I just used plain scotch tape. Gracie took it off in about 24 hours. Her ears were up by then. Others here have said to just reapply it. Also make sure you don't put it on so tight that it irritates their ears or cuts off circulation.

Before I do this I shave ears all the way down on both sides. This takes the weight of the ear. For taping up ears I use Breath Rite strips....cut in half, remove the sticky stuff, coat with a thin layer of Duo Eyelash/Surgical glue. Place the widest part down on the inside as far close to the base as you can get it. Hold it in place until it dries.

Donating YT 2000 Club Member | My groomer suggested using wig glue with tape on the outside. Worked really well. |
