| Problem With Ears Hi My Yorkie puppy is 5 months old, his ears are up but the the tips of both ears curl over towards his back ( about half an inch). I got him when he was 8 weeks old, his ears were down and I used tape to get them up. Does any one have any ideas how I can get them up properly. |

| It sounds a little odd his ear tipping over toward his back. It is possible that when you taped them before that somehow the cartilage in his ears was damaged. I had a little girl that had one ear tipping forward and hers finally went up on its own at 6 months. You could possibly try taping them again for a couple of days. |

| I have been taping his ears up every day since he was 8 weeks old. When I take the tape off they are up for a few hours then go over towards the back again. His back teeth are coming though at the moment, so that may be the problem. |

| My Kaba's one ear would always flop down. People always said I should do the taping but secretly I wanted it to stay down always....it was just so darn cute. At about 6 months her ear naturally went straight up like the other one. It was a sad day....
