I heard it could be cause his ears are too heavy from the hair, but I like the hair on his ears I'm hoping they will come back up when he is done teething???
Yorkie ears can flop when teething. Milli's were up around 13 weeks, then flopped a bit during teething-usually 4-6 months, about, and now are back up at 8 months of age.

If you want the ears to stand, you should shave the hair on the top 1/2 of his ears. Milli's will still flop if they get too furry. If you leave them flopped for too long, you will need to tape or otherwise support them in order for them to come back up.

He should be done teething by the time he is 8 months old...hasn't he lost all his teeth yet? Both my furgirls were done teething by 6 months old.
