Some dogs take a year to come up fully... Yodas ears did all kinds of weird shit the first year... they sit perfect now and don't flop at allTyler Durden wrote: ↑Mon Aug 28, 2017 7:24 pmHe will be 7 months in 10 days.Dutchringgirl wrote: ↑Mon Aug 28, 2017 12:13 pmhow old is he now? They will or they wont. I tried the strips and they really didnt work , Sadies flopped for a long time, she has thin Cartilage ( among other things) but they eventually stood on their own.Tyler Durden wrote: ↑Mon Aug 28, 2017 3:16 am
Sigh, after a few weeks of this they still arent up. The cartilige is pretty week. The worst part is getting the breathe right strips in the ear, he jerks his head and it just doesnt attach. I actually think it's worse than before. Really aggravating. Has anyone ever tried those ear forms specially made for this?

Re: What is the best way to tape ears?
If you're that worried about it, have you considered having a vet tape the dog's ears like they do when they get cropped?
You know with the splints and wrap em up like a mummy, if it can work post surgery for naturally flopped over ears it stands to reason it most likely work for eliminating this crease in one ear.
But I'm no expert, I did stay at a Holiday Inn recently though

Re: What is the best way to tape ears?
Ill try to be patient, the crease is just really bad. The ear used to stay down 90% of the time, now it doesn't go up at all.Dutchringgirl wrote: ↑Mon Aug 28, 2017 8:37 pm maybe in another month or so you may know. I think it was about 8 months when Sadies stood up
