 1 -
Supplies needed: scissors, vet wrap, foam pipe insulation, Torbot
Bonding Cement *Skin Bond*
adhesive, and medical tape.
|
 2 - Cut
the foam pipe insulation to length (measure from inside the bell of the ear
to the tip), then cut lengthwise in half. |

3 - Using medical tape, wrap the foam pipe insulation ensuring that the
sticky side is out. You can adjust the thickness of the post (pipe
insulation) by adjusting the tension of the tape.
|
 4 - Cover the ends of the posts
with a strip of medical tape.
|

5 - What the finished "post" should look like.
|
 6 - Repeat steps 1 through 5 to
produce a second post.
|
 7 -
Cover the exterior (sticky side of the medical tape) with Skin Bond brand
adhesive.
|
 8 - Cut two lengths of vet
wrap. Length should be adequate to wrap the entire length of the ear.
|
 9 -
Have the vet wrap laid out and ready. Your pup is about to become a
moving target and you'll need this at hand.
|

10 - Place a post inside the bell
of the ear. Ensure that the bottom of
the post rests against the
inside base of the ear. Then gently apply even pressure to the
ear to form it against the post, making contact and adhesion with the post
and Skin Bond. |

11 - Wrap the ear and post with vet wrap.
Ensure
that the Vet wrap is not too tight so that the ear skin can maintain proper
blood circulation.
|
 12 - This is what one finished
ear should look like. |

13 - Repeat steps 10 and 11 for the second ear.
|
 14 - At this point the ears
should have support, but will move independently of each other. Get
ready for another moving target! Step 15 will show you how to "tie"
the ears together. But before moving on to step 15, cut and have
really handy about a 20 inch strip of medical tape.
|

15 - Wrap medical tape around the base of one ear, go across the top of
the head and around the base of the second ear, then bring the tape back
across the top of the head to complete the "brace".
|
16 - Now is the most
critical step. Go to the liquor cabinet and pour a BIG stiff drink to
steady your nerves after having to deal with a super wiggle butt pup!
