Ears

Question
Thank you for clarifying the band-aid method.I did this and the ear is tipped.The problem is the whole ear is still laying over the top of the head(pointing toward the other ear)Do I also  need to pull it toward the outside somehow???

Answer
Ok, I personally haven't seen the ears point inward like that.  You may need to consider a stronger bracing method that I cannot adequately describe here. It involves gauze, glue, and braces in the form of sticks.

I'm not sure how far inward you are talking, but if it is not too much, just move the bandaid to the outer part of the tip?
Or is it more dramatic than that?

We may have reached the end of my ability to help online.  Maybe try contacting the breeder for one-on-one personal advice?
