The correct setting of the ears of toy terriers worries many owners. This problem is extremely important, since for this breed of dogs, strict standards are prescribed to have large, erect ears, lanceolate, mobile, pointed. When they lie dead on their backs or have creases, then this dog becomes, not like itself, not to mention a violation of the prescription. To put the ears of a toy terrier, gluing is necessary, which puppies begin to do from 3-4 months until a lasting result is obtained.
It is necessary
- - hypoallergenic breathable patch
- - scissors
- - pieces of lightweight plastic (plastic internet or phone cards work well)
- - antiseptic - chlorhexidine
Instructions
Step 1
Cut a piece of patch about 4 cm long and round it on all sides to avoid chafing your ear. Prepare a frame-splint for the ear from plastic: cut a strip of 0.5-3.5 cm in size, rounding it on all sides, glue it to the prepared piece of plaster.
Step 2
Cut another piece of plaster a little smaller than the first one, and glue it over the tire, i.e. she is caught between two pieces of plaster. It should be placed half a centimeter below the fold line of the ear on the inside of it. Make two such blanks and glue them into the ears of the animal (pre-treat them with an antiseptic), passing with soft massaging movements along the adhesive contours.
Step 3
Unwind the patch lengthwise and cut lengthwise into two equal strips. They will serve as a circular glue on the ears to ensure a high and parallel fit. Start glueing the ear from the center at the base in a circle. Make sure that the edge of the patch is higher than it and does not tighten the ear too tight, so as not to disrupt blood circulation and there are no abrasions and skin irritation.
Step 4
To put the ears of a toy terrier, follow its diet. With "floppy" ears, in addition to vitamins, he may lack proteins and calcium. A dog is a predator and its main food is meat. Some dogs need to wear a frame before changing their baby teeth, some - a month, others take two weeks. Your efforts will pay off.
