Could teething be causing her behavior changes and droopy ears, or does this sound wrong and maybe I should take her to the vet? I thought she may be depressed because we just moved to a new house.
What is your experience with this? |
It's teething, some vets think that the extra calcium needed for teeth is drawn temporally drawn from the ear cartilage, causing them to droop. I don't know if some calcium supplement would help with this. Joey's vet said that dogs do have problems with teething, just not the more serious issues that human babies have, who as you might know, are very prone to infections as this time. Bully sticks help a lot.
