Ear taping is when the ears are wrapped and bandaged into position, whereas cropping involves the surgical removal of part of all of the dog's outer ear.

Your dogs ear fills with fluid in between the 2 layers would ear cropping be beneficial?

While it's true dogs with floppy ears can have more problems with infections in their ears cropping has nothing to do with it. Please see your vet and they will give you medication (drop form) to put in the dogs ears. Dogs ears should be cleaned every couple of weeks. You can go to a pet store or ask your vet for a Herbal flush (liquid) and put a few drops in to clean out all wax (has a fresh smell) and then add any medication after this. Only your vet can diagnose this and just like humans if the ear infections is not looked after the dog could go deaf.


Are cropped ears bad for dogs?

Cropping a dog's ear is cutting a portion of the ear off. Some dogs rely on this outer ear to protect the inner ear from water and bugs and etc, so cropping this type of ear can, indeed, be bad for the dog. Hunting dogs sometimes have their ears cropped to, theoretically, protect them from animals that will grab the ear and/or to protect them from the pain and blood loss of a torn ear from running through the brush. This is about the only valid reason for cropping the ears of a dog. In most other cases, cropping is completely unneeded and even the AKC has recently ruled that lack of cropping is not a disqualification for dogs with traditionally cropped ears. A show dog should be judged by the quality of the dog, not the quality of the doctor who hacks off his ears. If you want a short-eared dog, breed short ears onto them.

How do you heal ear crops of dogs?

I am going to assume that you had a Veterinarian do the ear cropping and not yourself. There are certain creams that you can put on the edges that will help to ease the itching but the best thing is to either take your dog back to the Vet who did the ear cropping or call him or her, to treat these cropped ears. Have you ever considered not cropping the ears? A lot of folks in the show world and pet world are not cropping ears anymore and the dogs look wonderful. The original reason for cropping the pitbull's ears were to help keep its ears from being grabbed or bitten while fighting.
