What to do if your Border Collie’s ears don’t stand up

The reason why the Border Collie’s ears are not erect may be due to calcium deficiency. You can usually supplement your dog with calcium through food supplements. You can feed your dog some chicken breast, shrimp skin, beef and bone soup to maintain your dog's nutritional balance. However, some dogs have weak gastrointestinal absorption capabilities, and their body's conversion function of calcium is also poor, so the ideal calcium supplement effect cannot be achieved. It is best to supplement calcium through calcium powder. While supplementing calcium, it can also supplement vitamins and various trace elements, and also allow the calcium to be better absorbed by the dog.
In daily life, owners should pay attention to giving Border Collies reasonable exercise. Generally, the exercise time is about half an hour. Regular excessive exercise of Border Collies will consume a lot of calcium and easily lead to the dog’s Joint injuries. It is generally recommended that at four or five o'clock in the afternoon, the owner can take the Border Collie outdoors to properly bask in the sun. The ultraviolet rays in the sun will help the dog absorb calcium.
Professional ear stickers can also be used for auxiliary treatment on the inside or outside of the Border Collie's ears to strengthen the vertical strength. First stick one side of the ear patch with professional glue on the inside of the ear, and then stick it on the surface of the ear to strengthen the fixation. Try to glue it on in one go, preferably with two people, so that the owner can worry less and the dog's ears will suffer less. Generally, the glue will fall off on its own in about half a month. You can observe the effect and everyone will be happy when it is done. Otherwise, you have to wait for a few days for the dog's ears to recover before continuing to work hard. This is also a commonly used method in the dog industry around the world.
