How do you know when the ear flops down if it's teething or I just need to get his ears trimmed again? Just one is down and it's not down like when he was a pup it's laying down towards the other ear. Pointing towards the right ear. I looked to see if he's lost any teeth and it's like looking thru a lions mouth for his lunch he's eating. Trimming his hair isn't much easier...just thought I'd try to take some of the longer hair off with scissors. Not easy to do on a moving object! With cold weather coming I hate to trim hair that will keep those ears warm if he's teething. He's 20 weeks tomorrow. Happy birthday max!
