I took in a yorkie once from a BYB..... actually, I paid her $300 to be able to take him. He was in terrible shape... it was so sad. He was 5 mths old and one of his ears fell forward and the other fell/feathered backward. He looked just awful. Never bathed or let out of a cage. Anyways, I shaved his ears and taped them for 2-3 days.... retaping them during this time if the tape started falling off, or if he scatched it off. Then let them down. If they started to fold, I taped them another 24 hrs. I did this cycle until they stayed up, which took about a week. After I got him in tip-top shape, I found a wonderful family for him with no young children. He got scared so easily since he was not use to household noise. I have 3 little kids, so my house wasn't good for him. I loved him so much though!!! I will post before/after pictures of his ears below.
