Hello,

I'm new and still trying to figure out how to navigate around on YT so I hope I am posting this in the correct catagory.

I have a new yorkie puppy he's 13 weeks old and his ears are still very floppy showing no sign of standing. I've been doing some reading on this and I wanted to know what everything thinks is best. Should I shave the 1st third of his ear? I also watched a video on taping where a tiny tampon is used to help support the ear and then taped and changed every 1 to 2 days. My other yorkie "Navy" was 13 weeks when i brought her home and her ears were already standing and have had no problem. Any help or feedback is greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Angela
