Stand ears up

Here I have decided to share with you, dear pinscher’s owners, by my experience of standing ears up.

Sorry for my English – it was very difficult to translate this text because of many special words. If you find any part of text which you can not understand, please let me know by e-mail. Thank you in advance for your help!

As I know, that beginners often ask questions - that it is necessary to do that ears can well stand up? I can try to help.

So!!! We will need following things:
- a plaster on cotton base of 2-2,5 sm in width;
- a plaster of 0,5-1 sm in width;
- lighter fluid (further under the text simply Liquid);
- sticks for cleaning ears;
- cotton pads for cleaning face of people.

We take a wide plaster and cut off a strip, length about an ear stick. We put the sticky party upwards. We moisten a tampon with a Liquid and grease a sticky surface of a plaster. We put from above a stick for cleaning ears so that its ends did not leave for a plaster.

We cut off the same slice of a plaster and we put from above on the first piece with a stick the sticky party upwards.

We grease sticky top of plaster by tampon with a Liquid.

We grease an internal surface of an ear of a dog by tampon with a Liquid to degrease leather (then the plaster will longer keep).

We paste our construction inside an ear. It is necessary, that the bottom end of a stick rested somewhere inside of a bend of the basis of an ear. When you are pasting our construction - you insert a tip inside of an ear and fix its fingers of left hand, then this construction you press downwards, and an ear strongly you extend upwards and then you paste. I.e. the ear should be extended on a stick!!!!

Should looks like on this picture.

Now if the plaster with a stick acts upwards above an ear (most likely so will be), we cut off by scissors superfluous (Be careful!!! Do not cut off an ear!!!!). Tips of a plaster it is bent on other party of an ear.

An ear it is extended upwards and wound at the basis by a thin plaster (Do not grease this plaster with a liquid, other way it will come out with a leather and all coat when be removed). Thus it is necessary to insert a finger into an ear and to wind ear with a plaster at this time. It that you have not drawn an ear too strongly. When a plaster will reel up and you will take out a finger – you could see, that at view from above there is an aperture, i.e. in ear air will come and it will "breathe".

Now we make the same procedure with the second ear.

Both of ears are extended upwards in parallel and are wound by stripe of thin plaster at the basis like figure

Here so!

Now with such "horns" the dog should go approximately 3-5 days.
Do you think that this ends, and now you can sigh easy? NO!!!! Most difficult is take out all this construction.....
To remove a plaster with the least losses of a coat, in the beginning it is necessary to moisten the plaster pasted to an ear with a tampon with a Liquid. Now we cut ours 8-plaster and a ring of a plaster around of each ear.
From inside an ear in a direction from the bottom to top internal plaster with. When you will start to remove plaster from an external side - that necessarily to do on growth of a coat, i.e. at the bottom of ear pull the bottom edge of plaster upwards, rather the reverse (that losses of a hair were minimal). And with other hand hold hair appearing from under a coming unstuck plaster.
Well? It has turned out? I congratulate you!!!!!!!! Here now sigh with simplification!!!!! But not for a long time, since in a day you will have to begin from the beginning. A period such: 3-5 days a dog go with the stuck ears, and then 1 day has a rest. All that we make until ears will not stand well. To some dogs enough only several times, others will need 2-3 months. Everything is very individually. In any case I wish your GOOD LUCK!!!!!! I hope that I could help you!!!
