My puppy is 3 months old now, and he had "almost up" ears. The tips would flop over. The lady I bought him from had trimmed the hair on the tips to take off some of the weight, but they remained down.

I did some research on taping the ears, and decided to try it. I taped them on Monday, as instructed (like a taco), and removed the tape yesterday morning. I was told to tape them for 3 days at a time.

Well what-do-you-know! They are standing straight up! So far so good.

The vet told me that if they went down again, to just tape them for 3 more days at a time, sometimes it took repeated attempts, and also that some puppies' ears go down during teething.

I used breathable cloth first aid tape.
