So we got Dingus's ears cropped about 3 weeks ago. The vet stitched em up and told us to leave the stitches in for 10 days and then come back, they'd take the stitches out and post them up. So we did. I noticed at the bottom of his right ear it started looking really pussy and bloody. So I took the posts down and he had a sore at the base of his ear, and when we took the tape off it totally ripped off some of the scabs along the stitches that hadnt healed yet. We waited for a few days to let his ears dry out and heal. We reposted them again and again started having the same problem with the same ear only it was much much worse. I took the posts off again and his whole ear was raw and bloody. He cried and cried all night, I gave him half of a baby asprin which seemed to help him a little bit. I took him to our normal vet, (not the one that did the cropping, I wasn't impressed with them at all) and found out he has a massive infection in his right ear. So hes now on antibiotics, pain meds and pro biotic yougurt for the next 10 days to see if his ears will heal. Then the vet said we can try and post them again after he is completely healed but that there is no guarantee that they will ever stand!
I guess if it's meant to be they will stand but man its been a mess doing this whole crop thing.
