He's teething and humping everything he can get at to hump. As far as I know, he's never had an ear infection. Do you think I should get his ear shaved and tape it up or give it a few more days just to see if it stands up?

Thanks so much for being so knowledgeable and willing to help.
Keep them shaved, if they aren't up solid in a couple of days, assist them. Let him hump away....the faster he gets his little testicles to seat...the better for his ears and teeth. Humping does assist them in dropping.

I usually begin shaving them at a week of age; both sides all the way down. I know they don't have much hair yet, but I want them to get use to the vibration as well as assisting the ears.
