8. Take a plaster strip, 1 cm long, and
carefully wrap this around the ear point so that the ear point
should be uncovered. Be careful-do not twist the plaster too
tightly! Ear point should be curved and moreover it should hang
freely. Just the middle part of Doberman’s
ear must be uncovered with plaster and be seen between the two
strips of plaster.
As Doberman
puppy grows and its ears becomes longer this ear part between the
strips of the plaster grows larger and the ear is less and less
supported by the pasted frame. So that’s what we need because want
Doberman
puppy to move its ears easily. It will enable the ear muscles to
strengthen and later the ear will be standing without any
support.
9.Repeat the paragraphs 3-7 with
regard to the other ear.
10.Holding both ears vertically (in accordance
with desirable eventual result), take a plaster strip, 30 cm long,
and paste one end to the base of one ear. Wrap the plaster around
the base once and then construct “a bridge” to the other ear.
Now wrap the strip around the base of the other ear and be back to
the first one joining the sticky sides of the plaster. Repeat the
procedure until the plaster strip is completely used up.Do not make a very short bridge. Doberman
puppy must be able to move its ears naturally.
Step back and look at the ears evaluating their look. They must
stand the same as when the plaster will be removed. The bridge of
plaster between the ears during puppy’s excitation (interest) is
to be slightly drooping in order that Doberman puppy may move
its ears if necessary.
Remember, that the bridge is necessary for the ears not to fall
but not to the end that to hold the ears standing functioning as
ear muscles. Permanently examine Doberman puppy’s ears. If after
1-2 hours or later your pasting starts to disturb the puppy it
means that you have plastered too tightly around the bottom or the
top of the ear.
Check for any edema, redness or signs of infection. Correct
pasting does not give Doberman puppy any trouble or
discomfort. The ears must be pasted at a specified position for
about a week then the bandage must be changed. You mustn’t let the
ears wring, tighten along the edge.
After 7 days you should remove the tampon and wash the ears and
then ventilate them in the open air. For some time, though not
long, the ears must stand on their own but if they do not stand do
not paste then for one day but never let one ear or both ears
fall. Paste them again in the same way.
