Hi all

I know I haven't been around much lately but with Craig's back problems and the Easter break I'm still in a spin (well i am dizzy anyways )

Anyhows as ya know Caius' ears were sore with his mites which seem to be clear at the mo
his ears were up but now the only time his ears tend to go up are when he is out on his walks playing.

he wont put them up properly and I aint up for all this glueing etc

Does anyone have any ideas as to how we can encourage him to 'prick em up' I know they are like radars on the top of his head but they are soooo floppy

Any input appreciated girlies

Its good to be back

I've missed all me cyber pals

In the past i have given mine pigs ears or raw bones.

Im sure they will be ok Suzie

chews to to build the muscles up, he could still have some big teeth to come through , i wouldn't worry if they are up sometimes then they will eventually stay up,

The little bugger has just made me out to be a liar -- he's sat next to me now with the bloody things up perfectly

Thanks for the advice girlies much appreciated he has a rawhide every night and a couple of raw bones a week haven't tried the pigs ears might get some this week and see what he thinks

a true man up when they want to down when they don't

wouldn't swap Caius for the world. Everyone we meet says what a handsome chap he is even with the flops!!!!

could say that about a few men i have known

wot ya like woman

aawww bless him ..... as soon as his ears are better i bet they will stay up all the time ...

have you tried tea tree oil mixed with water and sprayed or rubbed onto his ears ....might be worth a try hun

lol yep .. typical male pooch making you you to be a liar

I had a girlie with one up and one down and it was a rawhide chew every night but in the end i taped then up for 24 hours and that was it they never came down again... IF they are down for too long a crease forms in the ear and then its a nightmare cause it can be more natural for them to be down than up... My girl still has the crease but her ears are up thank goodness !!!

Caius just sounds like teething... so chew chew chew... he will love it !!!!!

Thanks Suze for that info

glad we aint alone with the floppy lugs and glad your girlie came good in the end. He is chewing as I type on a rawhide fingers crossed all this chewing will help

hows the ears today hun
