| Duncan's ears are down but sometimes one will start to stand up and he shakes his head like it bothers him and down it goes again. He is teething and I have been giving him cottage cheese. |

Maybe you should do them both. I really works, I should of taken a picture of her so you could see how it's done. I used surgical tape, stood them up and taped them shut only 3 quarters of the way up, then used the masking tape as a bar to hold them together. Let us know what happens | |

| Ears Teething will cause problems for some babies- and then after teething is done the ears can pop up. It is an individual thing. Being stressed out can also make a little one drop the ears. I start trimming at three weeks of age and remove the hair from inside and outside of the ear 1/3 of the way down and in a v shape. At five weeks if the ears are not up I start using tape. I trim hair once a week- seems that hair on the ears grows very quickly. I have never had a puppy whose ears did not stand up in the long run. Wnalegria |

| Empanada is almost 8 months I haven't trimmed his ears because I didnt know I was supposed to I just thought they would go up by their self. Is there something wrong with him because his ears arent up yet? We're going to get his ears trimmed this weekend then they should go up right? Is he ok????

| Rika's ears are down and have been since she was born. Her ears were always too big to ever go up and I prefer them down anyway. So much cuter.

| Empanada's ears Quote:
Lexy's ears only took 3 days for them to go up. This is what I did. I shaved her ears, then I used surgical tape stood the ears up and like taped each ear closed but only 3/4's of the way up, then I used masking tape as a bridge between them. I don't think it bothered her you know she scratched it with her paw for about 5 minutes but then she forgot about it and kept playing. It only took 3 days. If you want you can privately email me and I will give you my phone number to help you out. I couldn't believe it when I took off that tape. Look at the before and after pictures. I doesn't seem to let me put the after picture but you've seen it. | |

| This sounds strange but give it a try . . . take a "tampon" and cut the string off. You will need help with this. Lay the "tampon" inside the ear . . . and put some tape around this. Acts as a splint. Give it a try!!!!! |
