As for the ears, when puppies teeth the ears can go up and down. Keep the hair shaved on the tips of her ears and that will help her keep them up. You can also add around 1/4 teaspoon of unflavored gelatin to her food and that will help also. You can buy that at Wal-mart in the jello section. Most people say that if the ears are not up by 6 months it is to late to tape but I have read of instances where pups ears were taped at a later age and they stayed up. I really think it depends on the size of the pups ears and the thickness of them. |
Yep....I have two who came to me at 10 months and they grew until they were about 13 months.
