Mia's ears were doing great, standing since she was 8 weeks old. last monday one ear fell and now today the other went down, What could be the problem, Could she be teething?

when my boyfriend and i moved from our apartment into our new house nuggets ears fell but they're up again now...has there been any major changes lately?? im sure they'll get back up there!!!!

Shelbies heart · 07-31-2005, 05:07 PM

The only change I can think of is that I haven't been putting her down for a nap in her playpen for awhile now because I have been home. She isn't getting the rest she was getting. Maybe that is it. You could be on to something. Thanks so much!

She is probably teething , so don't worry the ears will come up as soon as this phase will finish .

The Breeder Where I Got My Baby Told Me Not To Let Anybody Touch Her Ears Till Shes Like 6 Months. That Ways The Ears Would Stay Up. You Can Always Shave The Ears So That Ways It Wont Way Them DOWN. That Always Works.

Olivia's one ear is still down. It's been about 2 weeks now. She's 5 months- isn't that too early for teething? I'm just wondering when it should go back up or if I should do some taping to get it up? Shelbie's Heart- I know how you feel- we haven't done anything different with Olivia and we have a droopy ear.

One of Pudgy's ears is falling too.. I hope they come back up! His ears show alot of his spunky personality!

She is in the age range for teething . The ears will come up as soon as this phase will be finished . My mentor told me to don't touch the ears in this phase . If the Yorkie is healthy and the ears were up , they will come back to normal after .

Thanks guys! Callie's ears did that too and I was afraid they would never come back up. (But to tell you the truth I think I like them better down

)

You can always help her out by keeping the top part of her ear shaved clean.. The extra weight from the hair could be weighing it down.

sorry this isn't much help, but Lucy is 7 months old and her ears still aren't standing. If I try holding them up, though, they are just so gigantic. They're about 2 inches tall. maybe it just might be that mia's ears had a little growth spurt and is waiting for the rest of her to catch up?

I had Paxes ears shaved and still had problems with 1 ear flopping. Finally after 2 weeks I took a little tape and the very tip of his ear for 2 days and the ear went back up and has been that way now for 2 weeks. Pax just turned 6 months

My vet told me that their ears flop when they are teething. He said that if their right ear flops, the Yorkie is probably teething on the right side of his/her mouth and vise versa (sp?) for the left side. If both are down, your baby could be teething on both sides. I am sure it is nothing to worry about. If your baby's ears have been standing since 8 weeks, they will eventually stand up again.

Stewie's ear started to flop and never went back up
