| When Will Her Ears Stand Up? Crickett is now 4 months old yet her ears haven't started to stand on their own. When she was younger they would go half way up, but now nothing? I have read that you can shave the tips to help them stand, is there anything else that I can do except taping them that will get them to stand? Thanks for all of your help!

| Shave them and massage them. Sometimes you have to shave the whole ear if they are being stubborn. Then to massage, you just rub their ears while gently pulling them upwards. Increases the bloodflow to them. Gently though!

| Archie arrived to me at about 12 weeks and his ears were not all the way up, (they had been up at the breeder and then gone down again). They finally went all the way up at about 14 weeks, I did not shave them but I did massage them a bit.

| I hated this but it did work... My breeder took eye lash glue and glued card paper to sadies ears before we got her... It was a little hard to get off... You use baby oil. She says you keep it on for 3 days and then one day off...then 3 days on again... But I like the tape better cause it was so much easier to get off... The eye lash glue doesn't come off on it's own that's for sure! She used ORANGE paper for Sadie so we colored it black! If you look close you can see the orange!!! Poor Baby! Here are pics.
