So this yorkie that I am considering, her ears are not up. She is about 5 months old. She will need the hair shaved off of them but will they be able to stand or is that it. Is it to late and if not what do I have to do?

My 13 week old puppy has floppy ears and I have read all the literature I can find on the subject as well as asking people on this chat line. From the literature I have read it says you can tape or glue the ears up to 6 months but after that it wont help. I don't know if this is correct but I am carrying Gleason to the vet tomorrow and he is going to glue his ears. Hope this helps some.

Zoey's ears went up and down from 10 weeks to 6 months. She was teething. Sometimes one up then the other. Sometimes both were down and I worried. I never taped them. At 6 months they went up for good.

Karlighs ears were like that, up one week down the next, now that she is 3yrs, they are like half & half, but she is still a doll. even after grooming they wouldnt stand all the way. here is a pic

There's a lot of good information on the forum. Do a search on ears, and see what comes up.
