Gluing Dogs Ears - Ear Glue - Tear Mender

Tami,
I am glad you posted that, someone had told me about that before, but I always forget about that product.
I have never used it, but if I ever have to glue again, I am going to try that.

I have used the Surgical glue too. I have been up for 4 or 5 nights around the clock tubing a pup, I lost him this morning, I am worn out. I can't remember the name of the surgical glue I use. I will look it up.
I need to get some sleep, but I am so tired I can't seem to settle down for a nap.

Tear Mender....my mentor has used this too. Where can you purchase it.

How do you apply? Painting it on.

It's so comfortable the pup will hardly know it's there.

Isn't that the mole skin stuff?

I keep old nail polish brushes for the things like this.
Use one for hair spray too.

So, a bit of instruction......pull the ear up and postion it correctly and paint, correct?

I have a girl here that has been having a tremendous time with teething, she's 4 months old and already losing her milk teeth. Because of her teething I'm having a heck of a time with her ears.

Oops! Please forgive me....I'm sorry on the loss of your puppy, it's always so heart wrenching, working so hard and losing the battle. I'd never lost one until recently....I thought my chest was going to cave in with the pressure of the hurt.

PrestigeousYT · 12-31-2009, 04:43 PM

I have used just the polish brush and paint it on, I hold my thumb in the ear to cover the opening. Always want to protect the ear canal. I am sure you know that, but in case anyone else doesn't realize that you have to protect the ear canal
You just hold the ear up paint it on and position the ear.
I have one friend who used the super glue on one of her dogs ears, after the vet told her it was the same thing that they use at the ER to glue the skin on humans. Of course it was before they had the gel kind and she got her fingers glued together because she was protecting the ear canal and the glue dripped onto her fingers LOL I will never forget that story. But it did keep her dogs ear up, it did take her a while to get the glue off the ear, I remember the dogs hair started growing and she used her peanut clipper to just trim the hair with the dried glue off. The ears were up and beautiful. And the dog had no allergic reaction to the glue etc.
Loosing pups never get easier. I just hated to see him go.

Yes, it's often called mole skin. It's soft enough that it won't cut into the skin and the bit of adhesive on it will help keep it in place while the eyelash adhesive dries. Just make sure you get the clear adhesive for the strip eyelashes because the one for individual eyelashes smells very strong and is harder to work with.

GSD Breeders seem to love this one.

Thanks guys, I learned something. I've never had trouble with ears like I have this little girl. I just happened to be brushing her teeth this afternoon and looked in her mouth....shocked, because it looked like she was undershot....looked again and put my thumb to them and they wiggled. Thought to myself.....there's the culprit....your milk teeth took so long to come in and now your adults are starting to emerge........

So, I guess I'll order this stuff and start the glue......

Thank you for all the info on gluing ears. I'm going to ask my vet about it tomorrow after she checks his ears out. I'm a little hesitant to glue for obvious reasons, but I think I will try the moleskin. We'll see how it goes!

wow he looks happy

I'm starting to think I've come to the wrong forum. Getting some unexpected surges of anger welling up inside me here. This is the second weirdest thread I've read now, and there's a third I don't want to talk about...

What is the motive behind this highly peculiar practice?
