| 8 months old, sad floppy ear JakJak is almost 8 months old now. I cut his ear hair down as low as I had the courage to do almost a month ago. Ever since then, his ears have flopped over! He went from having hairy, perky ears to nekked floppy ears almost over night. His left ear will perk up when he's awake for a little while, and only half flop by the end of the day. But his right ear.... oh what a sad little ear. That one won't stand without tons of encouragement. (Massaging and literally me holding it up) I'm going to trim his ear hair again this weekend, and I might try taping them up. Is he too old to have perky ears? Ultimately, if his ears choose to be floopy, that's ok with me. But if I could encourage his ears to perk back up, I'll definitely try! Kaji was a floppy eared yorkie and I loved his look.

| Shave the hair off even if you have to bring him to the groomer, scissor cutting leaves to much weight on the ears. I can't say if 8 months old is to late, better to try then not.

| Taping at 8 months I don’t think will work normally it’s to late by then. When I rescued Penny one of hers was up and the other down. After a few weeks the other went down. I have no idea what caused it honestly.

His ears were up right before he turned 7 months old, when they were at the heaviest with hair. He turned 7 months and *flop* his little ears went. I don't know what happened. He'll be 8 months old in about 12 days. I'm hoping we can still fix it.
