I have a Nigerian Dwarf doe who was born very skinny and weak. Her ears drooped down to an airplane-ear like height when she was born. Slowly they are getting a little higher but they're still not erect ears. Will she eventually have erect ears of do I have to do something to help it along??
She's only 3 days old. Born on March 25th. How do I tape them--just splint them up with something and tape around. Or staple it on there like Evil Vicki?? eepwall (JUST KIDDING!!)
At 3 days...I wouldn't do anything to them. I've got 6 day old -induced-Togg kids with ears drooped. They kinda' look like german shepard puppies when their ears start standing. :lol They WILL stand on their own. But, do as Sondra suggested...Bo-Se and Vit. E. Usually when I have droopy ears, I will give them another shot of Bo-Se/vit.E on day 4 just to hurry the process along. Not a panic situation. Kaye
That's what I was thinking...I'll give her a little BoSe and a Vit E capsule but I'm always very careful with that stuff since we have more than adequate soil selenium here in North Dakota.
