taping the ears 4 Attachment(s) lucky is 18 weeks and his ears are still down. i took him to the groomer almost 2 weeks ago and had them shaved but still no luck. i will say that when i first got him they were completely flat. now there half up but the tips still fall forward. i tried to tape them but the tape wouldnt stay. do all yorkies ears go up, or are there cases when they never go up ???? does anyone have good directions on how to tape the ears?? i know he teething right now because he chews on everything. sometimes when he really into chewing something one of his ears is completely up for a few seconds but when he stops chewing they flop back down..... any suggs????? |
Go to Yorkie.org. Then go to the grooming tips. Alot of imformation including how to tape ears. Good luck.... and I want to add Lucky is adorable! :) jean |
No, not all yorkies ears go up. My oldest one's didn't. |
Ears I tried everything with my boys to get their ears to stand up. Taping, shaving, even the tampon thing (boy did that get some laughs). Garett's have never stood up. Benni's ears go up when he is really interested in something, but they are usually at half-mast. Some yorkies just hve the floppy ears. |
Try this-- I did and it worked perfectly--get a brown grocery bab.. get some eyelash glue. cut a template a little smaller than the ear -use small dots of glue around the edges of the paper. press teh template on the inside or outside of the ear. ( I did the hair side) leave on for a week. easy to remove..The ears will be set! I got this from Sadra Lemuire's book Head to Tails-Essential Yorkshire terrier.I did it about at 7 months.. worked great! |
My yorkies ears don't stand up. At first I was a little upset because I wanted a picture perfect yorkie. Now, I'm fine with it. she's a cutie no matter what!! |
Joey is five months old, and I don't think his ears will probably ever go up - they are very floppy, but he is so cute regardless! |
i agree with all of you my baby is beautiful with or without perky ears. just wanted to know if i was suppose to do something to correct this. i started giving him cottage cheese in the mornings for calcium and next week ill tape his ears. if not up in 2 weeks forget it. floppy ears it will be....thank you guys..... glad to know im not the only yorkie owner with floppy ears.....(smile) |
I just went to yorkies.org and looked at the ear taping instructions. These look like great instructions. I'm trying to get Olivia's tip up on her one ear, so I've printed these directions and am going to try them out. |
keep us posted if it works |
ok he keeps taking the tape off...how do i stop him from biting off the tape ? |
Oh the fun of Yorkies! Fix a problem and find another. I had just got Zowie to let me put her hair up in a bow, now her puppies pull it out within 20 minutes. |
Guccis ears always being up since the first day she came home. But I know of some Yorkies that their ears never stand up.Let us know it the taping works for you. |
