1. Dogs whose ears can’t stand up may be due to calcium deficiency. At this time, pay attention to supplement calcium for dogs . You can give the dog a pet big instant calcium vitamin, which can supplement calcium and some trace elements to help the dog's ears stand up.
2. Take the Chihuahua to a dark place for a walk at night. Seeing people or animals walking by, or making strange noises, they will often erect their ears to concentrate on staring or listening.
3. Often use alcohol cotton to rub the inside of the ear, or grab the fine hairs in the ear and pull them out one by one to stimulate the ear to accelerate its erection.
4. Stick the tape on the inside of the ear to strengthen the vertical force. First cut a thin plastic pad and stick it with super glue on one side of the cut plastic board, and stick it on the inside of the ear (don't forget to clean the inner ear with alcohol cotton first, and cut off the fine hair) and then stick it on it with a strand of cloth. Strengthen the fixation. Leave it on for 4-5 days before removing it to avoid rot or damage to the inner surface of the ear. If the inner ear cortex is damaged due to the adhesive tape, you can rub the purple potion to cure it.
5. In addition, it is easier and more convenient to use the packaging carton with plastic tape, and use super glue to directly stick it on the inside of the ear. (This is a more commonly used method now)
6. Another local method to help dogs erect ears is to use alcohol or iodine. Method: Cut the chili paste into many 2X4CM pieces. Then rub the inside of the dog's ear with alcohol to remove the oil from the ear. Then stick the peppers on the inside of the ear in a repeated stacking form, making it a little thicker. Wait until it drops and then repeat the sticker, generally a week will have an effect. After sticking it, I have to play with the dog more. I use tennis balls to attract the dog's attention. As soon as it pays attention, the ears will be congested. Doing this often will help the ears stand up.
If dogs are very disgusted with the above training methods, don't force them. After all, their feelings must be taken into account. As long as they can live a happy and healthy life, it doesn't matter whether their ears stand or not.
