The breeder I got my dobie from has a really awesome way of doing the ears. Here's a link to how to made the sticks http://www.guardianangelk9.com/makingsticks1.html

And a link on how to post them

You may have to tape them together like she does. That's what I did with my girl until her ears were strong enough to stand on their own while posted.

Then when they were standing on their own while posted

She was never once able to get them off. The cloth tape is really really sticky! Most vets should have that tape, otherwise you might have to go to a farm vet. Pretty much all the vets in my area are farm vets, so I don't know if that makes a difference. Oh you know what, I would be more than happy to send you the tape we have left. You can PM me your address, I have a couple small rolls left in my car. My mom is a nurse, so I didn't have to pay for them :P

I did the ears one week up, one week off. Unless they were looking really bad, then it was only 3-4 days off.

Thanks for the link. They have us using cardboard tampons wrapped in the tape. Works well though because she has really long ears. She always pops the posts out of the bell of here ear shaking her head. I have been keeping an eye on here ears to make sure she doesn't have an ear infection that would cause her to shake her head. I think she is just done with the whole process :rolleyes:


Thank you for offering to send me your tape. I'll ask our vet if they have a good cloth tape. I have an appointment next weekend anyway. If they don't and the new athletic tape I bought doesn't do the trick I'll definitely PM you. hopefully we're almost done :D She has three more days with this set then we'll see if they are good.

Ps. Your dog is soooo cute and her ears look awesome in the pic in your sig! You did a good job.

I ended up taping two popsicle sticks together so they would be longer. You would have to do the same with those big ears!

Athena would shake her head for the first day or so too. I don't think you'll have to worry about an infection since her ears are healed, and as long as her ears are dry when you post them. Hopefully the vet will have that tape!

Here's a bigger one of that picture :P
