EAR TAPPING
The Basics of ear care:
*** KEEP EARS CLEAN AND DRY***
*Check ears twice a day (morning and night)
*** KEEP EARS CLEAN AND DRY***
-Clean ears with a dry Q tip
Ears should be odorless
DO NOT POST OR WRAP FRESH CROPPED EARS UNTIL STITCHES ARE REMOVED AND 100% HEALED.
If you see green or yellow discharge those are signs of infection.
Use bottled water and table salt or a saline solution and q tip to do a gentle scrub then completely dry ears.
If it is raining and you need to walk your puppy who was just cropped, take a grocery bag and cover the ears and tie under the chin, remove as soon as back inside, inspect ears to make sure they did not get wet.
NO BATHS UNTIL EARS ARE COMPLEATLY HEALED, WE BABY WIPE PUPS DURING THIS TIME.
Make sure your cup has sufficient fluff so that the cup is not creating raw or bald spot on your puppies if you have concerns pleas send me a text or Facebook message. Don't forget to utilize our client only group on Facebook, if you do not have a Facebook consider making one for your new puppy so you can get updates on new and important things.
If another dog in the home is licking your puppies ears clean them twice a day.

Traditional method: Must be careful with newly cropped ears the posting process can retain moisture and infection. This is not recommended how ever if your puppy is sensitive to tape I would recommend this method.
Always clean ears before posting. Never go to deep into puppies ear, you can dammage their hearing.
Optional use baby powder to keep ears clean and fresh.
This Method is used by Danes, works good for Dobes to! this method allows for ears to air out after fresh crop which is great! Make sure you don't have any exposed sharp edges in your puppy’s ear. Make sure to keep puppies stitches clean and moist with Neosporin. You can rub with a warm cloth to clean they will appreciate it. This method is best for LONG show ears.
Incerts- My personal favorite method. They can stay in for a week or so. Make sure you give you puppy things to chew on it will help strengthen ears and reduce time posting.
