My Yogi's ears did this. I just made sure to keep the ear tips clipped short and that helped them to stay up. It took him a couple of years to develop strong enough ears to stay up even when his hair got a little long on them.

This is how his ears looked when he was young. He's 4 months old here. You can see how I have his ear tips shaved to keep the weight off them.

Here's how he looks now at 5 years old.
