( Thanks Darnell ) <G> Many Breeders use it on young pups so that by the time they go into their pet homes their ears are pretty much "up." We have used it a few times and love it.........and have set ears for other breeders and showed them how to do it and most of them love it too. Just 'bead' it on the outside hairs of the inside edge of their ears......from the base to the tip and press them together. I daub it on with Q-tips. They don't even notice it.......just take off playing and the other pups don't even notice it. It wears off in about 2 - 3 weeks and their ears are up. Some of the hair is matted with it and comes off also....but is back in two weeks. We personally have never had one end up with the "overset" ears from that method yet and it is so much less invasive than the foam curlers or pipe insulation and glue.......and does not touch skin anywhere to cause problems.

Talk about a pain in the butt ears that are up with the tip down. Anyway you get it at medical supply stores. I have never used it but she swears by it. Tina Hvizdos To: showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Ear glue - good tip from a Sheltie friend Those looking for glue to use on ears - a sheltie friend told me about usinghair extension glue that you get at the beauty supply store. The stuff worksgreat, is more hypoallergenic, less irritating and comes in colors (clear, black, red). The best thing is that they have a glue remover - that works great when you are ready to un-stick their ears. Since it is designed to be used on humans, it is gentle. I bought some at Sally's Beauty Supply - got both theglue and the remover for under $10. ~ Val Manning Terra Norte GSD Wellington, CO ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2008.
