We have a 5 month old pup who's ears came up on their own and were strong and
beautifully set. Came home over a week ago to find one ear hanging with a
puncture type of injury near the center of the ear with dried blood on both
sides yet the entire ear was still intact with no pieces missing. We're unsure
if one of the other dogs grabbed it through the fence or if she may have caught
it on the fence while trying to dig under (she's kenneled while we're at work).
This is the first ear injury I've experienced. We've been treating the wound
with topical medication and oral antibiotics so the wound is healing but the
ear is still flat. I'm curious if anyone else has ever experienced this type
of injury and if they had success getting the ear to restand. I'm unsure if I
should I wait and see if the ear stands once it fully heals or if I should try
to brace it up during the healing process? Any advice would be appreciated
because it will be a shame if the ear doesn't come back up on this beautiful
pup.
Thanks,
Melissa
