Most cats and dogs naturally have pointed or droopy ears. However, a strange trend has recently emerged in China, where pet owners are changing the natural shape of their pets' ears to resemble round "Mickey Ears," similar to Mickey Mouse. This growing interest has led to a widespread trend, with many animal clinics in China offering plastic surgery for these ear modifications.
The surgery is completely legal in China, but some experts say it could be traumatic for pets...as you can imagine. The second stage of the procedure, making the ears stay "standing up" can take up to 60 days!
This all started because of of one vet's add about the surgery. Most veterinarians won't perform it though, for ethical reasons.
