You cannot crop a newborn puppy's ears until they are about 10 days old, or until the ears "open." It will usually take up to three corrections to make the ears match, because they seem to grow at different rates. I do the first cropping at ten days, then do the corrections at one week intervals, using a little lidocaine to minimize pain. I also believe in pain meds and antibiotics after cropping. It is a very painful procedure. Some countries have banned ear cropping, which I think is wonderful. I try to talk people out of cropping when possible but it seems more humane at the younger ages, rather than waiting until the puppy is 9 weeks old or older. Dr. C. Hobbs
