| One Floppy Ear My little Grace's ears both stood up so cute, but now one wants to droop. Any ideas why? What can I do (if anything) to get the ear back up. She will be 5 months on the 10th of June. |

| Are they already shaved? If not, do that. You can also tape them if that doesn't work.

| If the hair on the ears are long then you might want to trim the top 1/3 of the ear to help it stand up. |

| I've been told on here that if their teething the ears will temporarily will go down but will usually recover ....could she be teething?

| M yorkshire is 6 years and she has always had a floppy ear. But we think she is original and that she is cute! Since we shaved her ears she did put it up sometimes when she is on alert but mostly it is still floppy. Anyway we like it that way! |

| Around what time is the "teething" age ? Angel will be 5 months old on June 17th. He had them up and then one fell and the other fell also about 1 month ago. I shaved them and taped them for a week. They were up and perky for about 2 weeks then one fell again! lol So now I taped one up again. I will onlytry this until he's 6 months old. If it doesn't work then I will leave it alone for good. I think he looks adorable either way but he really looks so darn cute with the alert perky ears lol.He is teething , I think. I have plenty chew toys and he loves a rubber chew bone the best. Genie Cookie Lola Angel |
