=o don't cut ur dogs ears!!!! >.< poor dog
are u gonna crop its tail too!!!!????

[Princess12]

I think you're supposed to do it when they're puppies. I've never really heard of anyone doing it with an older dog. How old is your dog?

from what i was told by the Vet it has to be done before there 3 months ..

the new one i got is a blue pitbull and hes 7 months nothing is cropped ..

pm and I'll give you my vet's info- they rock!

can you ask them if its possible and if so a rough estimate on price ..

I think it is possible, but they say it hurts more. When they are puppies you can crop the tail and ears without any side effects. I've always heard that clipping the tail when they are older is like cutting off a leg. Throws off their equalibreium and stuff. I assume the ears would have some similar effects....

How the hell did i miss this.. Most vets wont do it after 12-15 weeks old.. its a VERY painful proceedure and any older than that the risk of infection and complication increases too much most vets dont wanna deal with it. I know at the vet I work for it ranges from 300-600 minimun depending on the breed and what kinda cut you want... I have been working at vets for the better part of 6 years now and I am also state registered... if there is anything else i can help you with.. please feel free to ask..

Ren i have a problem i think my dog has a ear infection or something ..
can i just go to like pet smart and get medicine like a ear drop medicine ??

[The Ren]

No.. If its an infection depending on how bad it is.. you will need ear cleaning solution to get the gunk out and ear drops to clear up the infection.. if it is bad enough he might even be put on oral antibiotics..

[The Golden Child]

errr by any chance would you know a rough estimate on this cause it looks pretty bad ..

[The Ren]

I could give you an estimate from my work.. but i dont know other prices compaired to mine...

[The Golden Child]

that would be great Ren if you can do that ..

[The Ren]

Well I will do it this afternoon but this is what you will probably get..

Exam
Ear swab
Ear cleaning
Ear cleaner
Ear drops

[The Golden Child]
