Droppy ears

[sharonp]

I would like my morkies ears to flop down. She is 3 1/2 months and her ears popped up 2 weeks ago. Any chance they will flop over again? Can I do anything to encourage them to drop over?

To make the ears stand up there's one trick to get it done in a week. I learned this from my vet when my babies ears were droopy. You tape them up up like a pancake. Will attach pics of my baby,they were up In a matter of days. It's a it hard to see but you basically wrap medical tape around it making them stand up without folding. You can also wait they should stand up soon but I did it and do it to all my dogs works like a charm.

I think she wants the ears to droop, not stand

How long did you leave the tape on? My biewer's ears were standing perfectly, now one ear is folding down. He is almost a yr old, and has lost all baby teeth, so I am hoping there is still time to get it up. He holds it up sometimes, so I know it can stand. I have shaved the ear and have been taping off and on for three weeks and it stands, but then goes half way down by the next day. I am also giving cottage cheese for more calcium. Praying it stays up eventually.

Love the sand on the nose.

Bentley is about 4.5 months old now. He's a one ear up one ear down puppy right now. First ear didn't stand until right at 4 months. This other one is teasing me. It was up beautifully this morning and then all of a sudden started to sag again. I'd say give it some time and keep the ears trimmed.

Here's his ears in progress.
