My 8-month pup has a curl tip on her left ear.

I want to tape pipe foam insulation, for 3/4 inch pipe, onto her ear.

What is the best type of glue to use?

I live in SoCal and if I can buy it locally it will be better, so I can save on shipping.

Thanks

Skin bond

Tear Mender. You can get this at Tractor supply. It is breathable glue and does not harm the ear. It comes off on it's on after about 2-3 weeks or so.

Due yourself a favor. Don't use the foam pipe. In has fiber glass in it and your dog will get a bad infection.Pick up some pink foam hair curlers. use surgical glue or tear mender. Put glue on ear and curler. inspect ears daily.

Tear mender is also what I have used. Someone on this site recommended using a toilet paper roll and cutting it to fit the dogs ear. Makes a perfect cardboard mold. Apply a very light layer to the ear, let it get a bit tacky, then apply another thin layer to the cardboard, stick them together. I've put up a few ears as favors to clients/friends and it has worked well every time.

I found Tear Mender at Joann Fabric, $12 for two ounces.

Her ear is almost up. It was up most of the time even before I use it.

The breeder has used skin-bond previously. It seems that as soon as I removed the skin-bond her ear stood up most of the time.

Hi we use x-ray film for tapping ears, very light does not bother the pup and does not rub or cause any problems with the ear, a bit of tape on the ear first then tape the film and like magic prick up ears

I used eyelash glue fro my girl, although, I must say, I think the taping was likely unnecessary.
