 Need opinion on ears
Being a first time yorkie owner, I can only go on what I hear from the experts. Chewie is 14 weeks old and his ears still are not standing. The breeder taped them for me when I picked him up from her two weeks ago, but when I took him to my vet (who is also a yorkie owner) she told me her opinion was not to tape the ears. Vet said I could do more harm by taping the ears and causing irritation. She said she's never had a problem with floppy ears coming up on their own. Any way, I took the tape down after the vet visit. His ears were standing for about 24 hours, but then flopped again. The breeder's other yorkies didn't have floopy ears--just maybe a pup or two. While I think Chewie is adorable with his floppy ears, my hubby wants them up "because we paid a pretty penny for him." We won't be breeding him. Thanks in advance for the advice. |
