How to glue a 7 month olds ears

Question
Answer -
You can buy some glue (actually it is fabric glue) called "Tear Mend" from Cherrybrook.  Here's the site:

http://www.cherrybrook.com/store/ProductDetails.aspx?parent=true&productID=50353

To glue:  Put a dot (maybe the size of a hald dime?) of glue on the tip of the ear.  Put the ear onto the cheek.  Repeat on the other ear, making them look identically and correct.  Massage the ear three times a day for the entire time the glue is on, creating the fold.  Sometimes glue stays on for two days, sometimes 2 months.  Reapeat gluing until the ears are looking good. Hope this helps!


Do you have to use that brand of fabric glue, or can you use another? I ask because I already have a different brand....
Thanks again!

Answer
There are other kinds, both the only kind I have used it tear mend.  If a breeder has recommended something else, try it.  I know some beginners who thought they'd try like tacky glue or something (that was a fabric glue) and they got a load of muck that didn't work.
