| One ear up, One ear down? So little miss' ears finally stood up...well sorta. One of them is up and one of them is down. Anything I can do to help the other up or should I just leave it? I'm not too worried about it. The taping with the gauze and stuff just doesn't work. |

| I have 2 of them that way. Sometimes it wants to go up, and other times it says down. I just let it be.

| Does your groomer cut the hair on the ears 1/3 of the way down? Sometimes the hair is heavy and keeps the ears from staying up.

| Hello, How old is your puppy? Teething has a lot to do with this. |

| Betty Boop is 14 months old. Up until she was 10 months old, I constantly taped her ears. It definitely helped them to stand up. I never gave up and it paid off. However, I've noticed when she plays and gets tired, and when she needs to have her ears trimmed, her right ear will flop over. It will always stand up given time, though. I really want them both up. Just my preference. But, if she wants one ear down at times, that's "eartirely" up to her.

| I have puppies now, 5 of them and I have already started trimming their ears and massaging their jaw by their teeth. I have been doing this for over 2 weeks now. They are 6 weeks old. All ears are up, execpt one of them. I'm just thinking that one, the ears are meant to be down. He's still a very sweet little boy and the lady that is getting him is fine with that.
