Corso Ears Cropping

Hey everyone, i am new to this forum and to the Cane Corso world! I just brought home my cane corso puppy who is now 13 weeks old last week. We just got his ears cropped and i was wondering if there was anything we should pay attention to or any special care that anyone has done that has worked for them in the past. I am following vets orders with the neosporin as well as some iodine 3x a day. He hates the cone but seems to be doing ok, he has shown some discomfort but nothing to severe! Any tips and comments will be appreciated!

Welcome aboard. Would love to see pics of your baby.

Someone should be along soon to help you with the cropping.

Had my corso ears done put neo on them and that was it. Vet did not give me anything to help them stand up.I tried a few things but Kong kept knocking them out.I gave up but his ears stand up and look great to me!
I suppose the vet didn't give me anything because he must of known I didn't need it.

ok, thank you!Just wanted to be sure there was nothing else that would help the healing process as I would like for him to be out of this cone as soon as possible! :)

How does he act with the cone off? The cone scarred my dobermans left ear. NO cone on my Corso ever. She didnt mess with her ears at all. Cone is only needed if dog wont let there ears alone other wise its unneeded. What kind of stitches did vet use? Can you post pic with no cone on of ears?

We use the cones because we often have more than one that has the ears done and having them tearing stitches out was not high on my list of things to do. After the stitches came out we gave them a good bath to get all the gunk that can accumulate because of the cone gone and then rubbed them ears with lotion whenever we were watching TV or had time to increase the blood flow to help them stand more quickly. It might not be needed but we do it just to help them out some.

I'm not sure what type of stitches were used...they were done by breeders vet so we are just following directions. He's much happier when we give him a break from the cone but he does scratch at times and we have to then put the cone back on unfortunately.
