How to raise ears to a sheep-dog

Each dog breed has to conform to certain standards of an exterior. Sheep-dogs – German and East European - are also not an exception. One of recognized standards – correctly put ears.

Instruction

1. If by three-four months the ears at a puppy did not rise, you should be engaged in their statement. The quicker you will correct this defect, the better.

2. Double-check a family tree of a dog. Consult with dog handlers and veterinarians. It is possible that ears at it do not rise because in its sort there were unblooded sheep-dogs or because his mother badly ate during pregnancy. In the first case it is necessary to you will reconcile to a state of affairs, in the second – to begin to feed up intensively a puppy vitamin and mineral additives with calcium and phosphorus which will strengthen cartilaginous tissue of an auricle. If you the supporter of a natural diet, give it bones, dairy products, fish forcemeat.

3. However, if there are no problems neither with a family tree, nor with health of mother of your pet, it does not mean that he does not need such feeding.

4. Define whether it is necessary to glue ears and in what place. For this purpose tips of big and index fingers probe an auricle. Find a weak point (it either a small strip, or "spot"). It is enough to clamp between fingers this site as an ear immediately will rise.

5. If this place is located in the top third and has the spots form, then subbonding is not necessary. Just continue to feed a puppy also intensively that his organism did not need calcium and phosphorus. If it is a strip, so it was formed by the hall which needs to be glued.

6. The weak point located in the middle or lower part of an ear needs to be glued anyway.

7. Prepare two pieces of cardboard of slightly bigger size, than the weak site. Cut off an adhesive plaster piece (also one more is required then, for fixing).

8. Stop up with a cotton wool scrap an ear canal. Very shortly cut off or shave wool in an ear on that place where you will paste a plaster. Moisten cotton wool with vodka and wipe the cut-off site. Then process it the sticky party of one of plaster pieces (that then it was possible to remove it, without having injured auricle skin). Wait until everything dries up. Paste a plaster. Strong press it to an auricle that he did not screw up the face.

9. Take one of the pieces of cardboard prepared by you and grease it on the one hand with Moment glue. The plaster which is already in an ear should be greased too. Do not release a dog. Hold within several minutes an ear so that it did not stick together. In 7-10 minutes paste a piece of cardboard. Record it the second piece of a plaster.

10. In the same way process also other ear. It is necessary to remove cardboard and a plaster in 1-2 weeks.
