Laura, Duct tape is great, but not to wrap ears, and remember it DOES NOT BREATHE, first aide tape, breathable, etc are better alternatives. Sometimes the old Kotex pad and first aid tape method from thirty years ago is the best way on dogs that have issues with ear infection. But as youthful as you look you may not have used this method that long ago... Hang in there, we have all had tough cases.
