As someone else posted, teething can cause them to flop a little too...Saydee's did that, but were back up in just a few days.

Thank you for sharing. That is so neat; I had no clue that those foods would build the cartilage up in their ears. (: And I'll use the yogurt when I switch her food; we are on Nature's Recipe but I'm stoked about the new Blue Buffalo food for small breed dogs. I think it is chicken and oatmeal. (: I've been letting her lick the yogurt rims, but I didn't know that it was good for her.
