thank you so much for the informaiton. I was worried. because I have a 1 year old and her ears are down and were down when I got her at a few months old. I didnt know anything about the ears so I didnt know to tape them up. I asked her vet and he said dont worry they will go up. Never did. I wish it would work for her now? i THINK THAT SHE IS TOO OLD TO EVEN TRY. wHAT DO YOU THINK? Again thank you for the information. |
You might even want to try this with your older baby. Shave the ears down both sides (to the skin) about 1/2 way down. Tape both sides. Like Charlene said leave it on for 5-6 days. I use masking tape as I think it is stronger. Good luck!;) |
Another way is to shave both inside & outside of the ear, cut a triangle out of a grocery bag, the size of the ear, and glue it to the inside using eyelash glue. Just be careful not to close up the ear canal.:) |
Jan, I have never heard of doing it that way. Hw do you get it off the skin after the week? I would try and tape the older Yorkie's ears also...it is not to late!! Good Luck! |

Thank you so much guys I will try this one the little one and also on my older yorkie! Will let you know! |
1 Attachment(s) Yes it is true that puppies ears can go up and down. But I think (and this is only in my opinion) that you can have a fairly good chance of getting any puppies ears up if you try hard enough and they are under 9 months old.:p Here is a picture of my Bell when she was a baby and I taped her ears. |
I had the same problem w/Gus's ears. I tried taping them but he scratched so much I took the tape off after 24 hrs. I took him to the vet because I thought he had developed ear infection (kept shaking ears and head). The vet's wife was there that day and she has Yorkies. She asked if she could shave his ears and she shaved them very close on front and back and told me to massage alot. Now thanks to her his ears stand up great. I did keep the hair cut very close for about 3 weeks. |
How old was gus at the time when you did this? Suki is over a year old right now and they are still down. |
I agree with all that has been said so far, shave the ears down to take excess weight off of them, gently massage the ears for added strength...and tape if necessary. Good luck!!! |
Gus will be 5 mos on Aug 2. I just did this last month. After the vet's wife shaved his ears, I continued doing this and I am still shaving and massaging. I need to take a new pic and post it. My boys liked him best w/floppy ears. |
