Notes for Doberman Ear Erection

Ear Erection: It is an operation to change the original posture of the ear of a dog with drooping ears into an upright position.

it mainly belongs to preventive surgery, but also belongs to cosmetic surgery! Because ear surgery is not only to make the ear look better, but also to reduce the occurrence of ear canal diseases through surgery, which is the original intention of ear surgery! Some people think that this is an unnecessary operation, unfair and cruel to dogs. In fact, surgery can reduce certain diseases (such as ear mites, fungal bacterial otitis media, which will cause purulent otitis media and seriously affect hearing, leading to encephalitis or death), reduce the chance of injury (such as accidents caused by playing and fighting), and at the same time let the dog have a pair of beautiful ears that match itself. This is a responsible attitude towards the dog's life. We know that most dog breeds are artificially bred, but we are neither God nor nature. The personal purpose in the breeding process is very complicated, and almost every breed has its own unsatisfactory aspects-variety defects or genetic defects. Some are internal, such as personality defects, hereditary cardiovascular diseases, abnormal cartilage metabolism, hip dysplasia and so on; Some are external, such as hereditary umbilical hernia, tooth dysplasia, variety skin diseases, including variety ear canal diseases. Intrinsically, it is very difficult for us to prevent it, and we can only treat it passively at the onset. In addition to spending the owner's energy and money, the dog is also very painful, and often it may not have a good result, and there is no complete solution. On the other hand, the external situation is much better. We can transform and repair the breed or congenital defects through such methods as dental plastic surgery, ear-lifting surgery and umbilical hernia repair, and the pain of dogs is temporary. Why not do it?

Du Binquan usually has ear-erecting surgery at the eighth week after birth. When you decide to have ear-erecting surgery for a puppy, you should make an appointment with the most experienced ear-erecting doctor in the local area as soon as possible and understand what the owner should cooperate with before and after operation, so as to prepare in advance!

When you have more than one dog to be operated on, you should prepare isolation equipment for postoperative care, such as fences or dog cages!

You should have done epidemic prevention and deworming once or twice before operation, and there is no abnormal state (such as diarrhea, cough, high body temperature, mental fatigue, etc.).

Do not eat or drink water 8-12 hours in advance on the day of operation, in case of suffocation caused by vomiting after anesthesia!

On the day of the operation,

Arrive at the hospital on time according to the doctor's appointment, and the nurses will let your dog relax for a while.

By the way, observe whether it is carsick or has any other abnormal conditions, and then get some necessary data before the operation, such as weight, temperature and routine blood tests, so as to ensure the safety of the operation!

Before the operation, the doctor will communicate with you a few things:

Has your dog ever had any diseases, has it recovered, and how long has it been?

the health status of other dogs who live in the same nest or * * *

Have you ever done ear-setting surgery and cared for other dogs before?

Have you prepared yourself psychologically, because this is an irreversible operation!

Have you prepared a clean and comfortable nursing environment for the postoperative puppy at home?

if you can't take care of it yourself, is there a trusted assistant to help you?

in particular, you should explain the ear shape you want to the doctor and listen to his advice.

Then just wait quietly ...

Precautions after operation

1. Don't let your ears droop after sewing. Fix two ears on a disposable paper cup to keep them upright during the healing of the incision. (Please refer to the picture)

2. Wipe the wound with Baiduobang ointment at least once a day, and take anti-inflammatory injections twice a day.

3. The stitches can be removed within one week after the operation.

4. You can't give the dog a bath immediately after the stitches are removed. If it is necessary to take a bath, you can dry-clean it with special dry cleaning powder for pets.

5. After the stitches are removed, the wound will be completely healed, and the scab will fall off. Instead of letting the ears droop on both sides of the head, they will be tied and erected immediately.

school binding period

Many Du Binquan owners are most concerned about: How long will it take for the dog's ears to stand up after the operation? !

First of all, let's know how many factors affect the ears to stand up:

1. The age of the operation is very particular. Many of them are done 15 days later, and the standing will be 1-1.5 months later.

2. Is the ear canal reconstruction (operation) successful? In the past, we called it "trumpet reconstruction"! There is a lot of knowledge about aesthetics and mechanics, traumatology and variety characteristics.

3: Heredity is very important! There is no need to explain this one!

4. The intake and absorption of nutrients will also affect the speed of ear erection.

5. Postoperative care, the length of scab period depends on your skills!

6: The quality of tying and proofreading technology directly affects the result! It depends on the dog, and the patience and persistence of the owner will help your dog leave the stick as soon as possible.

7. The exercise of ear muscles is not paid much attention to, but it is indeed the key.

8. The health during the long binding period can not be ignored: diarrhea, dehydration and other conditions will make the newly erected ears collapse immediately.

Your Doberman puppy is about to enter a regular binding period, and the correct binding method can ensure that the cut ears look upright and beautiful.

of course, it takes some patience and unremitting efforts to achieve the goal.

The tying is repeated until the ears are completely upright.

you need patience and responsibility to stick to it, so that the school binding will be easy.

Your Doberman puppy may be very reluctant, but it has to face the life it will get used to.

The following is a reference method, which may be helpful to a Du Binquan owner.

Before you start, you should make sure to make all necessary preparations:

● Vida toilet paper ● Alcohol cotton ball ● A large piece of rubber plaster ●3M microporous breathable adhesive tape (made by American 3M company)

● Two round disposable wooden chopsticks ● Scissors ● An assistant (an assistant is very necessary for you. )

Preparation

Step 1: Take 9 squares of toilet paper, fold it in half after 3 folds, then take the round disposable wooden chopsticks and break them (the length depends on the length of the dog's ears), wrap the round disposable wooden chopsticks with toilet paper into a cylindrical shape, cut off the redundant parts at both ends, and then fix them with 3M glue. (reference picture)

Next step; Cut a proper amount of rubber plaster and wrap it on the cylindrical surface. Pay attention to seal both ends of the cylindrical surface < P > Next step; It is a very important step to clean Du Binquan's ears with alcohol from the inside out. After cleaning, ear clipping can prevent the possibility of infection. Alcohol can remove oil stains from ears, making the tape more effective. The whole ear after cleaning should be dry and tidy. It is especially important to clean your puppy's ears and keep them dry before tying them.

next step; Now you can let the assistant control it firmly, and don't let it twist too much. Take a cylindrical rod and plug it into the ear canal, the depth should be appropriate, and don't use too much force. Fold your ears up and wrap them around the cylindrical rod. Start to stick your ears on a cylindrical stick with 3M glue. Start as low as possible near the ear root (this is very important to prevent the cylinder rod from falling off), then wrap it around the ear tip, and seal the exposed part of the cylinder rod with tape towards the ear tip. Be careful not to wind it too tightly. It's important to stick it well, but it doesn't need to be very tight. Repeat: don't wrap it too tightly, you will block the blood circulation and lead to the necrosis of the dog's ear tip. Wrap it around the other ear in the same way.

in the last step, you will need to shape both ears. First, hold your ears with both hands and keep them upright and H-shaped until you feel that your ears are positioned. Then the base of the ear is wrapped with adhesive tape between the two ears, and then it passes through the top of the head and wraps the other ear in a similar way. The ears should stand upright and should not lean to either side. The first school tie is done.

in autumn and winter, you usually tie it for a week and then take it apart to get some air! And then tie it up! But it's hot now. You should be diligent, take it apart every 2-3 days to see the condition of your ears, and then tie it up! Do not take apart the tape for more than 6 hours at a time ~ ~ If you smell something strange during the whole process, your ears may be infected. If there is infection and inflammation in the ear, don't tie it again. If it gets wet in water, it should be replaced immediately.

hehe ~ ~ ~ About 2 months, the dog's beautiful ears will become your pride!

PS: why use 3M tape? Where is the 3M?

3M microporous breathable adhesive tape is a professional adhesive tape, which can greatly reduce the probability of infection and inflammation.

In addition, the viscosity is moderate, which can prevent large-scale hair removal of dog ears!

I am also a dog lover. I have a mini Doberman at home. Hehe, I don't know if it will help you to find some ways. Finally, I wish your dog health.
