| One ear flop ... questions To you breeders/showers I'm having a problem with my biewer's ear flop. One is floppy and the other stands. They were both standing fine and then one day I noticed that it was floppy. To make them originally stand I shaved the ears (to lighten the load) and massaged them a little each day. I tried that again and nothing. So I unfortunately resorted to taping (just the one, i HATE doing this especially since its just for cosmetic purposes). I used medical cloth tape and a paper tape (used for packing it is thick and provides support) Is this wrong? Is there something else I can do, should do? Thank you in advance. |

| How old is this puppy? Sometimes the ears will just go up and down when they are teething. Unfortunately sometimes they get stuck in the down position. I have never taped ears so I can't help you there but it sounds okay what you did. Just keep them taped for a couple of days and then take it down. I have heard that if the ears are not up by 6 month the ears will most likely not come up but I have heard exceptions to that also. Last edited by bjh; 07-03-2009 at 12:37 PM. |

| Since she is in the teething stage, I would definitely keep up with shaving the ears and massaging.
