Hi all! My little girl has an appointment first thing in the morning to get her ears cropped. I made the appointment the day after I got her. The vet seen her, gave her some booster shots and said she was healthy enough for the surgery. He also said he is very confident they will stand.
Now here's my problem. Up until today, I have been excited and ready for tomorrow. Now all of a sudden I have cold feet. She's just so cute with her perky little ears. Gives her character and she just looks so sweet. Will I be taking that away from her with the crop? And if I don't crop them, will they stay the way they are now, or will they get all floppy and lazy looking? I just have so many questions running through me. I just sit and stare at her and I can't come up with any answers.
So I was hoping for some opinions from the people who know best. This will be my first crop. I left the ears of my last dobie natural because I couldn't afford it at the time and I always regretted it (and her's were never as cute as my little Izzi's ). So now I have the opportunity to do it and I've put myself between a rock and a hard place.
