Glue or Taping?
So we are at the 5 month mark and his ears are still floppy. Had a vet check and there is no infections but he is cutting his molars now. I swore I wouldn't glue or tape his ears but...... What I want to know is which is healthier/more comfortable for the dog- glueing or tapeing?

Vet recomended a few more weeks since he is cutting his molars. In fact I just pulled a baby molar that was just hanging by a thread. Now he is chewing a knuckle bone.

I would be very hesitant to wait a few more weeks (if ears being up is important to you). They can go up late but the chances greatly decrease. I always support ears if they aren't up by 5 months as well as give Solid Gold Sea Meal supplement.

i didnt tape till Triad was a week away from 7 months i didnt use glue i just tape a foam toy Arrow (taken off the other stuff. cost me $1 at the dollar store) for about 2 weeks. and it stayed up once in a while the one ear i tape goes down but goes back up. just to note the tape might pull out some fur on the ear but it will grow back. also it looks like he is in the flying nun stage?. and he looks like MY boys identical twin.

I would do it right now, he is really flat, if it was a slight I would say wait but he needs to get them started in the right direction. You should glue them together like a tepee. I think gluing last long than taping. There are some great threads on how to glue the pups ears on here. Just do a search.
