all the sites i've seen have said to use masking tape. Hazel is 13 weeks today. i taped her ears for one day, and i did a pretty good job. she managed to get my great job off in a few hours. i did shave her hears, and since i've been doing that they keep going up more and more each day.

i had to tape Paris' ears and they stand up, but every now and then, one falls down, but later it's back up. I do believe taping helps. I used scrapping tape and it doesn't stick or pull the hair.

It's definitely a two person job. And don't worry, she'll get them out so often that you'll be an expert by the end of the first day
