| My new pup is now 3 months, 5 days and his ears are still down! Is this normal? What should I do for it? I was thinking they would just POP up any day now, but no such luck! If he is already 3 months, does this mean they wont? |

| If you prefer erect ears, i would shave the tips to remove any excess weight and possibly tape them. If you like the floppy look then leave them, a lot of babie have floppy ears and look really cute |

| Gracie is 13 weeks old tomorrow and her ears have not yet stood up. I started trimming them a couple of weeks ago. Some days it looks like they will go, but then they don't. I'm not worrying.

| Our Toto was 16 weeks when we brought her home and our breeder said they had just "popped up"! She told us to keep the upper 1/3 trimmed/shaved and there would be no problem and they have been sticking straight up ever since!! Patience, Mom!!

| Shaving Kitty's ears always did the trick.

My Tiny Treasures Donating Member | Brodies ears took turns flopping. I just taped one at a time for two days at a time and it did the trick. They are big and stand straight up now. |

| My girl had them up already when I got her. I know they tape them sometimes to get them up. Can your breeder help you do them or maybe take the pup to the vet for help taping them?
