My 14 week old Yorkie's ears are currently taped. They kept acting like they weren't quite sure if they wanted to stand up or not.
In addition to folding them in half vertically, I also taped a rod across them (by using a cuticle stick!) to keep them sturdy and in an even line. He seems to be tolerating it well. I've removed the tape a couple of times to bathe him and his ears were standing although the cartilage is still soft.
So while it'll probably take awhile, I think I have a pretty good shot at getting them to stand permanently.
My other Yorkie (who now technically belongs to my mother) has floppy ears that'll come up a bit whenever the hair is trimmed. I think the floppy look is equally adorable. |
