Skooter's ears won't stand up...

Hello, my Skooter ear's won't stand up. Is there anything I can do? I love him to death, floppy ears and all. But I was just wondering because I've never had this problem before with my other Yorkie. Thanks!

Hi, Going by the info on your profile page, Skooter is about 7 months now? I've read that if they aren't standing by 6 months, they may never stay up. He looks to be a bigger yorkie....is he? That could be part of the reason why. If you still want to try to get them to come and stay up, you need to shave the hair off of at least the top third of his ears and tape them (I used masking tape). Leave the tape on a few days, then off. If they are standing, leave the tape off; if they start to flop again, re-tape another few days. Keep going til they stay up or til you're pretty sure they won't come up. Skooter is adorable either way. One of my yorkies has floppy ears & everybody loves my Lucky. | |
