 Scratch them!
This is going to sound weird but I beleive they hold them up themselves.
I have 2 full grown (1 male and 1 female) and 2 female puppies that are now
14 weeks old. My male was 20 weeks old when I purchased him his ears a very small and were already erect/standing and are always up. Abigail has bigger ears, I struggled with her.......I fed her cottage cheese/calcium supplements, her ears go up and down depending on her mood (being submissive etc.) The 2 female puppies; I shaved their ears @ 7 wks. old and
both their ears are small and standing, my male puppy that I Sold, his ears were shaved @ 7 wks. too but they didn't stand-up until he was 10 wks. old
and he had 1 that would flop now and then, I have long fingernails and every time I saw it Flopping I would scratch his ear and whistle or make some kind of noise to make it stand-up and when he would make it stand I praised him so he knew that's what I wanted. He did take after his Mother and inherited her big bat ears, hopefully he'll grow into them? When you shave the ears it has to be shaved completely on the inside, I even pluck the hairs in the ear canal too. I would try taping them if you don't have the energy to train him to do it? I think it's still possible, Good Luck! |
