Answer Question

1 Answer - Sort by: Date | Rating

    If your puppy is less than 14 weeks then ear cropping surgery can be performed. But you should discuss this with your vet. Ear cropping in dogs is surgical procedure to erect the ears. Surgery is completed in 45 minutes to 1-1/4 hours. Risks of the surgery are low. Side effects of anesthesia, bleeding, and infection after surgery are reported risks. Sometimes, wound breakdown over the incision takes place that require another surgery or removal of ears.

    After the surgery, keep giving him pain killer medicines
    prescribed by your vet. Reduce his activities, monitor the bandage moisture, and replace weekly up to 6-8 weeks.
