skycat 6,173 Posted July 15, 2007 Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 Have the same problem with mine: years of working cover as well as to ground have left my 10 year old bitch with heavily scarred ears that are crimped over at the ends with scar tissue: one plus is that the more they are scarred on the ears the less it bleeds! Not a lot you can do about it IMO, just keep the scratches cleaned up and keep the dog out of cover until they are well scabbed up. It'll just keep happening as long as the dog is pushing through brambles with dertermination. Mine just live with it: just make sure they don't get swollen and infected: clean with salt water and dob on some antiseptic . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scruff 1 Posted July 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 Thanks sky, i've been washing them down and using spray savalon when cut, here's the poor bugger. Nice strong head and neck but dont know where the ears come from Quote Link to post Share on other sites
redmoor 0 Posted July 22, 2007 Report Share Posted July 22, 2007 I use vaseline on my bitch's ears, it doesnt stop all the tearing, but it does help. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
