Gunner's Crop

How long are you leaving him out of the tapes? I would let mine air out for a couple hours and then right back up again.

The vet wants him out of the tapes for 24 hours before re-taping. We take him back to her each time to re-tape. They have us keep them taped for 10 days. She uses a foam post to tape them. Our breeder recommended her, she has been doing ears for 39 years and did her dogs.
It's a long drive (1 1/2 hours each way) but we wanted to make sure they were done by someone with a lot of experience. Our normal vet would do them but he doesn't do very many so we go for the car ride and the bigger $'s
From what I can determine that's most of her business, every time we are there it's nothing but puppies with ear crops.

Rupert's LOOK GREAT!!!!!!!!!

Dr Edwards?

Thank you for the compliment.

I'm thinking you might benefit from learning to tape them up yourself if you were willing. Just a suggestion.

Try and do it yourself. It really isn't that hard. Have your vet show you how to do it, and watch the youtube videos. To drive 3 hours every 10 days seems so unnecessary. We can now tape Max in under 10 minutes.

Yes It's Dr. Edwards. I won't post anymore tonight....... but suffice it to say I will be learning how to tape myself! Let's call her Customer Service a F-!!!!!!

In a day or 2 I will post more specifics so folks can be informed!!!!

Things must've have changed at Dr. Edwards office since Murphy's crop was done. Of course, the breeder had the whole litter done so maybe she doesn't demand that they keep coming back there for tapings in that case. I don't know, but I did all Murphy's taping myself. If I had another Dane pup, I'd love her to do it again but there's no way I'd drive 4 hours to Atlanta to change tape!!!

Martha my understanding is that she will let breeders tape their own, but Joe Schmoe is required to bring the dog in for each taping.

That's crazy!
