Flying Ears

Doesn't she look lovely!

I love the ears! very cute!

[Lotties Ma]

Yes, they look so much better. Now we have to hope that they will settle as she finishes teething.

Glad the glue and massage seems to be doing the job

[Lotties Ma]

Yes, and even better is the fact that she has scratched the blob of glue off one of her ears and it has remained perfect. Feeling more optimistic now.

Wow they look a lot different!! how did you manage that?

She looks like she has a massive smile on her face in that second picture!

I might seem a bit thick but what glue would you use for this. I never taped my Jillys ear because I knew there was no way the tape would stay on with the way my two bundle and I didn't want to risk Jilly the Hog eating the tape

[Lotties Ma]

I used copydex to glue. Put a blob on the ear in the corner/corners or on the fold using a cotton bud. Hold for a moment and the ear stays in place. The glue does come off as the fur grows. An ice cube helps to break it up if you need to snip it out. However it will come off during grooming. Lotties ear which came unstuck is still perfect.

I have a feeling I learned about glueing on this website. If not it is certainly on the internet somewhere.

I cannot say whether being in season would affect her ears but if her adult teeth are in and they are still like this when she has finished her season then they will stay that way and taping or glueing is unlikely to make any difference.

Ears tend to fly if the leather of the ears are too thin and during the teething process the calcium levels are used up which causes the ears to do strange things. After teething the ears start to set into their final position. The best time to set ears is usually between 8-16 weeks.

There are a few forum members on here who have dogs with these type of ears and i am sure most will agree it adds to their character.

She is very sweet no matter what her ears decide to do

Not sure I understand this , best to set ears between 8-16 weeks ? What happens if their ears are fine during the 8-16 week period ? Meaning floppy.

If the ears are floppy and flat to the head then they are very unlikely to fly away.
Jasper was around 11 weeks in this photo as you can see his ears are animated and away from his head A person wanting to show would have been gluing them down at this point.

What a gorgeous fella . Tobias is going on 16 weeks next Wednesday. His ears occasionally fold inside out when sleeping. But are floppy when awake and active , although one does sometimes point to the left occasionally. We’ll see. One thing I’ve learned with a loss of a dog is that I’d sooner be enjoying our short lived times than fuss too much over the smaller things.

From the photos I've seen of Tobias he looks as though hes going to have perfect ear set. I wouldnt change Jaspers ears they're a bit wild and unpredictable and fit his character

When he sleeps. This is what it looks like sometimes.

So, I have glued Calua's ears down and left it for 6 days (that vet who said 4 days, knew what he was talking about in one of the posts)
She went from fluffy puppy, to super bunny, to serious floppy ear girl!
