| Below are pictures and the steps of how we teach people to post and unpost their new puppy's ears. |
| The supplies you will need for posting....paper tape, clear transpore tape, silk tape, Caldesene powder (found in the baby isle), Blue Gold Bond, Tampons sized to fit your puppy, Co-Flex or VetWrap |
 |
 |
 |
| mix both powders together in a little container 50/50 mixture |
| cut 6 pieces of transpore clear tape about 3 inches each |
 |
 |
| pull cotton out of tampon about 1/2 inch and tape secure with a piece of transpore clear tape |
| Fluff the cotton tip |
 |
 |
| make sure post is long enough to cover puppy's ear and tape in place so the cardboard does not slip using Transpore Clear tape. |
| pull string and tape to cardboard |
 |
 |
| Back tape (sticky side out) starting at the end with the string working your way down to the cotton tip using Transpore Clear tape. |
| Cut 2 pieces of Co-Flex/VetWrap 4 to 5 inches wide |
 |
 |
| Put the 2 pieces of Co-Flex/VetWrap aside for now |
| Cut 6 pieces of paper tape 4 inches long |
 |
 |
| Powder all the edges and the base of the ear |
| Dip the cotton tip in the powder |
 |
 |
| Put the cotton tip end into the bottom of the base of the ear while stretching the ear upward tightly |
| Stick one edge of the Co-Flex/VetWrap to the tampon |
 |
 |
| Close up of the Co-Flex/VetWrap stuck to the tampon |
| Loosly wrap the Co-Flex/VetWrap inward (towards the middle of the head) around the ear...DO NOT pull it tight or stretch it or it will cut off the circulation |
 |
 |
| Slightly & gently squeeze from the top downward |
| Loosly tape the tip of the ear with one of the pieces of paper tape (already cut). NOT TOO TIGHT!!!!! |
 |
 |
| Tape the bottom of the ear using one of the pieces of paper tape - wrap from the back and cross over in the front....loosly NOT TOO TIGHT |
| Place a second piece of paper tape on the bottom of the ear |
 |
 |
| Repeat with the other ear |
| Cut 2 pieces of silk tape 6 inches long |
 |
 |
| Place one piece of silk tape across the front of both ears |
| Make sure the ears are straight up (not tiping in nor out) |
 |
 |
| Place the second piece of silk tape across the back of both ears |
| View of the bridge from above |
 |
 |
| Pinch both pieces of silk tape together |
| Finished Product |
| Unposting your puppy's ears |
 |
 |
| First take off the bridge by peeling it apart |
| Bridge is off |
 |
 |
| start down the bottom and peel the vetwrap up over itself |
| continue peeling the vetwrap inside out up the ear |
 |
 |
| continue peeling the vetwrap up the ear |
| now that the vetwrap is off, slowly peel the ear away from the center post |
 |
| Take post out of ear and repeat with second ear. Leave ears down to breath for only the amount of time it takes you to make two new posts and repost your puppy's ears. Call or email me with ANY questions or concerns!! |
| The most important thing about posting is NOT TOO TIGHT or you will cut the circulation off and loose an ear tip or the whole ear!!!!! I cannot stress this enough!!!!!!! |
