Did His Ears Shrink - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Your Gus looks fine to me, not to worry, his ears did not shrink. when I first had My Suzi get A professional groom they made her ears tapered and trimed, also shaved them , her ears went right up all the time , and I thought they looked so much smaller too. I think it was all the hair that made her look like she had big ears .
It is important though, to have the hair plucked from the ears, because in A yorkie the hair goes all the way inside the ear . I had my groomer do it, and I new Suzi felt so much better afterwards

Cringe!!! Seems like a lot of hair to pluck. Is it plucked one hair at a time?

Suzi has very nice ears.

I think your Gus looks perfect!
Its so funny though, because my Husband and I were just talking about how Chloe's ears look smaller since she came back from the groomer last week. When she was younger I thought she had huge ears! I joked that if a big wind came up she would take off flying! I think she has just grown into them, because they look normal now.
