| Is her hair on her ears trimmed or long? Also, I think they can drop when teething. Is she still losing baby teeth and getting her adult teeth?

| Some others might have more thoughts on this. I am surely no expert. But I think the teething may be the reason. If the hair is heavy, it could weigh the ears down,but it doesn't sound like her ears have super long hair ir anything. Hoping some more experienced members will chime in...

Could be teething and weight of the hair. If her ears don't stand back up, don't fret too much. There are so many adorable Yorkies with floppy ears.

| Welcome to Yorkie Talk. The others have said what I was thinking, that teething, and weight of hair is causing this, or is it possible that she is coming into her first heat? I just want to add, don't worry too much about it. I'll bet if they were standing before, they will again. However, there are some of us who did not end up with perfect "UP" ears.... and they are also adorable. My Tiki actually has one up and one down, and I wouldn't change a thing, haha.
