How can a little German Shepherd straighten his ears quickly? Generally, a little German Shepherd starts to straighten his ears at the age of 4 or 5 months. If the ears are still not straight at 6 months old, you can use an auxiliary ear straightening method, which can help the little German Shepherd rub the inside of the ears. , or use professional ear stickers on the inside or outside of the ears for auxiliary treatment. If the puppy is malnourished, calcium supplementation can be used to help straighten the ears.

Generally, German Shepherd puppies have floppy ears when they are puppies (up to about three months). Some malnourished puppies, or those with parasites in their stomachs, have their ears erect when they are less than two months old, and there are also cases where they fall down after effective deworming. It is normal and comforting to have your ears erect around three months of age. However, there are cases where the natural erection does not occur until 4 or 5 months old. In particular, dog lovers are increasingly pursuing the breeding concept of having a more majestic head and face, which has led to the popularity of so-called big-headed dogs. Uncle Benshan said that "big heads and thick necks" will also cause The strong face of the puppy is too full, coupled with the strong nutrition, the cortex becomes loose, the physiological development is slowed down, and the development of the ear cartilage is affected. This is also one of the important factors affecting the growth and physiological cycle of today's German Shepherd Dogs, which are becoming more and more late! If it is If your ears are still not straight at the age of 6 months, you should pay more attention and find ways to correct them through training to assist in erecting them.

Generally, the ears of dogs with thinner ears erect slowly; if the entire ear is only half erect, there is no need to worry, because it will return to normal with a little correction. After all, the force of nature is irresistible; and if For dogs that are always bent forward from the base of the eye and drooping, the ears still show no signs of erecting at 5 or 6 months, which is more troublesome, because the weakness of the cartilage at the base of the ears cannot be easily corrected in a short time.

Here is a quick way to straighten the ears of German Shepherds:

1. When walking, take your puppy to strange or dark places at night. Dogs will spontaneously erect their ears when they see people or animals walking by or hear strange noises, because concentration, staring, or hearing stress are the best inducements for dogs to spontaneously erect their ears.

2. Frequently use alcohol cotton to rub the inside of the ear, or occasionally scratch the fine hairs on the inside of the ear and pull them out one by one to stimulate the ear to accelerate blood circulation and assist in straightening the ear (it is indeed unkind, it is recommended for nerve types Suitable for super temperament wolf dogs).

3. Use professional ear stickers for auxiliary treatment on the inside or outside of the ear to strengthen the vertical strength. First stick professional glue on one side of the ear patch (my dog ​​friends and I agree that "sticking firmly" is the best, 3 yuan per bottle), stick it on the inside of the ear (don't forget to wipe the dirt in the inner ear with alcohol cotton first), and then Stick to 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 half a month (or about 10 days due to climate differences), and the effect can be observed. Everyone will be happy when the dog's ears are set up, and they will tell each other and have a good time. Otherwise, you have to wait for a few days for the dog's ears to recover and continue to fight. (It alsoThis is a more commonly used method in the world's wolf and dog industry)

4. Precautions during the assistance period {very important}: Especially after gluing, try to prevent the dog from damaging the newly glued ear patches. It is best to install them in separate cages and avoid letting them loose. Dogs with auxiliary erect ears must be on a leash every time they are walked or trained, and the owner should tease the dog with more objects, so that the dog can raise its head, concentrate, and mobilize the dog's emotions. This will not only improve the dog's The excitement is also effective in cultivating affinity! To avoid allergies or damage to the inner cortex of the ears, try to keep the dog in a dry and ventilated environment. If the inner ear cortex is injured due to sticking tape, you can wipe it with medical disinfectant for simple and basic trauma treatment. The dog's self-healing ability is fully capable of handling it.

5. If the puppy is suffering from calcium deficiency due to malnutrition, you can supplement the puppy with calcium. You can also take the puppy to sunbathe to help the puppy absorb calcium.
