| One ear doesn't go all the way up Hello, Abby is only 2.5 months old. I noticed today that one of her ears doesnt go straight up. Is this normal??? Will this change n both will go up later on? When she hears a loud noise they both do go up but not when shes calm. What can i do to fix this?? |

| They usually go up and down when they're puppies... especially during teething. You can shave the ear to see if it'll go up on it's own or you can tape them. Just do a search and you'll find lots of great advice on how to tape ears. Some ears don't go up until 6 months so don't give up hope. Franklin's are still down. One is ALMOST up, and he's like 5 1/2 months. We're going to shave them (again) on Monday and then tape them. If they never go up.. oh well. We think he's adorable!

| My Toby is over two years old and still his right ear doesn't go entirely up except just after a grooming. Once his hair starts growing back out it starts flopping over again but it's so cute. :^)

| Welcome to YT! It's quite common for one or both ears to droop, especially when they're teething. Milli's ears will droop if her hair grows too long on her ears...once we shave the hair off them, they stand up again. My Emma has one up ear and one down ear, and I love her like this. I wouldn't change it for anything-It gives her so much personality. You can tape their ears to get them to stand up, especially at this early age. Try doing a search on here for "taping ears" or "tape ears" and you'll find out exactly how to do this properly so you'll get the result you want without hurting your dogs ears.
