shepp 2,285 Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 My beddy split her ear a few days ago, had it bandaged. Now i want to give it some air but i don't want her to open it up by shaking her head. Is it advisable to glue it with superglue if so how do you go about it? Cheers Shepp Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest ROUGH COATED Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 Just leave the dog to its own devices as long as you keep it clean. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

busterbuster1969 313 Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 Hi Shepp, Ive used superglue on my dogs ear before but it was because she had ripped it and it had severed a vein and wouldn't stop bleeding, but it did the trick. You could also try the spray on plaster as a temp measure. If its not to bad id leave it to its own devices. I see your from Surrey , what part .. pm me if you like ATB Buster Quote Link to post Share on other sites
skycat 6,172 Posted December 5, 2009 Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 A lot depends on how long the split is: one of my lurchers got the end of her ear flap ripped by a fox, about 1 1/2 cm long: I tried glueing it, but it didn't work, so in the end I left it: kept the ear stuck on top of her head with masses of sticking plaster until it was healing well (about 10 days) and cleaned it every day with salt water. Her ear is now forked at the end but no problem at all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
