| I am am new, but have a question.. Hi everyone, I am new to the forum, and not sure if I should of asked this here or where I already posted it in the Breeders Forum. I have a problem with droopy ears. MY little guy is 16 weeks old, 4.5 pounds and have ears that droop over. I have tried to use masking tape as suggested in a book. I worked for a few hours, then down they came. Does anyone have any other suggestions??????? Thanks!!! |

| ears you have to shave the ears to get the weight of the hair off of them.the cartlidge is really soft in yorkies ears and the hair holds them down buy some beard and mustache trimmers. i have used those and they work pretty good. |

| Yes, I was going to say to shave the ears also. You would be surprised how much that weighs the ears down. Good luck and welcome to YT! |

| You can take some light cardboard, like that on a match package and cut it just a bit smaller than the shape of the inside ear leather, and tape that to the ear with masking tape, then put a piece of tape from one ear to the other in a standing position on both the back and front of ears. If he does not get it off, you will have to take it off after about 4 or 5 days and let the ear rest for a couple of days and redo if necessary. |
