I was using oil before removing it. Apply it for a few minutes and then remove the tape.
this is it, if you have questions let me know, thanks to the owners of Russkaja Mechta kennel who did the taping so I could make the pictures!
I don't have direct experience with natural ears but my understanding is that in order to avoid infection you want to tape just like you do posts. By that I mean tape them down 4 - 5 days, remove the tape and clean the ears, let them dry and then retape once they are dry (an hour or two later minimum).What kind of tape did you use? The Elastikon kind I tried stuck so bad it was hard for her when I had to take it off with alcohol... I've tried this method twice, once for three days and the second for 6. Have you heard of anyone having to do it for a month? Or is it just her and something we're not able to remedy?

when you see the ears is coming up just tape them some dogs it takes longer, today I did tape Hutch again, I think probably for the last time, his left ear is coming up. Hutch is almost 7 months he is the dog who I tape the longest comparing to the other dogs I had/have.
they won't be wet, its just we let them for a few days just to see if they stay ok, if so you do not have to tape them again, I always tape them that I can put 2 fingers between it so that its not to tight, and the never be wet.
I know its in dutch but this we use here Leukoplast it stays day and night for 5 days, then 2 days off, and if its not ok retape again 5 days
You misunderstood. I didn't think the whole ear would be wet, just the ear canal from whatever you use to clean them.they won't be wet, its just we let them for a few days just to see if they stay ok, if so you do not have to tape them again, I always tape them that I can put 2 fingers between it so that its not to tight, and the never be wet.

I doubt it... Petting couldn't form the cartilage of the ears the way it should look. I'm not a fan of "airplane ears".Can't this also be done by petting the ears and breaking them? I guess I am a bit confused on why this method needs to be used. Thanks!
