German shepherd is a dog breed from Germany. Its ears are very important, because in the first few weeks after birth, they have to stand up to ensure their beautiful appearance, but sometimes they grow into drooping shapes. In order to solve this problem, many German shepherd owners will "glue" their ears in this position with a special glue. What exactly is this glue?

1, type of ear glue

There are many kinds of adhesives, but for German shepherd dogs, there are two substitutes, namely ordinary surgical adhesive and sodium hydroxide solution.

2. Medical glue

Surgical glue is a kind of glue used to keep the wound closed during surgery. The main components are polyvinyl alcohol and polyacrylamide. This glue is very suitable for sticking ears in one place, but it is unsafe because it contains more chemical components. If you decide to use surgical glue, you should consult a veterinarian and follow the instructions and use it carefully.

3. Sodium hydroxide solution

Another option is sodium hydroxide solution, whose main components are sodium hydroxide and water. Although sodium hydroxide is an alkaline substance, its solution concentration is low and it can be used. When in use, apply it to the surface of the dog's ear, gently press it, and the ear will naturally stand up.

conclusion

For the owners of German shepherd dogs, sodium hydroxide solution is a safer choice. It is relatively cheap and easy to buy, but the danger of self-treatment still exists. If you have time and money, you'd better go to the animal hospital and seek the help of the veterinarian.
