When I got Sophie she was 14 weeks old and her ears did not stand up. The lady I got her from shaved the top 1/2 of her ears and taped them together with masking tape. I took off the masking tape the next day as I wanted to ask my vet about taping. She said it is o.k. as long as it does not seem to be bothering them. I taped them up for jusdt two days and then took the tape off whe I gave her a bath and voila I had true Yorkie ears. Her ears now stand up most of the time (they are floppy when she is sleepy) but they are up during the day and i could not be happier. I think floppy ears are cute, but I got Sophie because I like the look of the true Yorkie! I am continuing to shave 1/3 of her ears until I am positive they are all the way up. |
