| Final attempt to fix that lazy ear. Well Bentley has a little "crown" on his head at the moment. Guess it will be his fashion statement for the next couple of days. Thought everyone might enjoy a good laugh. He looks so cute like this. Tape does not appear to bother him. How long should I leave it up? Seen conflicting time frames. He will be 6 months on the 27th so I'm guessing if we don't get that ear up soon that will be it, lop ear little boy. lol

| Ahhh...what a cutie. I have seen various tape 'up' times, too...everywhere from 3 days to 1 week or more. I think I might go by the tape. It it's looking bad and starting to come off after 3-4 days or getting sticky ooze on his ears, I might take it down anyway to refresh it, clean the ears, and let the ears 'breathe' and if the ear stays up, not put any more tape back in. But, that's just a guess 'cuz tape gets icky after a bit.

| Thank you. I think so too, but I think he would look so adorable with ear curtains.

| Thanks all. I'm going to remove the tape tomorrow evening. What happens, happens. I know I have heard from a few YT'ers that they have had dogs that had ears go up on their own after 6 months. He's done great with the tape but I worry about what if any damage the skin could suffer by not having air circulation. So this is it on the taping. Up or down I love him and both his ears lol.

| Ears up or down, Bentley is adorable. Good luck on the "Operation Perky Ears" project. |

| I'd change the tape every two or three days. Make sure the floppy ear is totally shaved inside and out. It may take three or four weeks since he's already almost six months old.

| I was going to let Guinness's ears breathe after 48 hours but when I took off the tape his ears stayed up from that point on so I never had to retape. Stella ears are a hopeless cause so far

| Pixie had 1 ear up and 1 ear down until she was 7 months old and one day it just sprung up. I never taped though.
