What you will need.....
> Electrical Tape (less sticky & easier to remove)
> Scissors
> Tampon (to hold the ear up while it's taped)
> 2 Humans (depending on the puppy, it may take 3 ! )
Cut 6 pieces of tape approximately 4 inches long
Remove the cardboard from the tampon.
Place the tampon in the puppy's ear, so that it will hold the
ear erect. If the tampon is too long, just cut it to length.
Place one piece of tape on the front of the ear, at the base.
Place a 2nd piece of tape on the back of the ear, so that it
sticks to the first piece.
Place the next piece of tape on the front of the ear, above the
bottom piece.
Place the next piece of tape on the back of the ear, so that it
sticks to the previous piece.
Place the next piece of tape on the front of the ear, above the
last piece.
Place the last piece of tape on the back of the ear, so that it
sticks to the previous piece.
Firmly press all the tape together, so that it will stick well.
Carefully cut off the excess tape, leaving about 3/4 inch
sticking together around the outside of the ear.
Your puppy will NOT like this and will probably shake his/her head trying to get rid of the tape. If the
pup shakes the tape off, repeat the taping process. Your goal is to keep the ear taped for 3-4 days - this has worked
everytime we've done it!
Here's what the puppy should look like after you have finished the taping....
