Floppy Ears? We have an 11 week old Yorkie and her ears are floppy. The lady we bought her from said if we wanted them to stand up we could tape them. I have noticed them starting to perk up a bit on their own. My question is...how long should we wait before we try to tape them and how do we do it? |
Just get the tips of the ears shaved and they will probably pop up on their own. My pup's ears were down at 13 weeks, but soon as I got the ear tips shaved they came up within 3 or 4 days. Good Luck Cathy, mom to Sergeant |
My poor little guy just can't make up his mind....up, down, up, down. I would tape them now...it won't hurt...better to be safe than sorry... |
what you should do is shave 1/3 of the ears front and back...give it a week to see if it stands if not then tape them |
What do you mean by shave? Do I take her to a groomer or is it surgical? |

I found this site when Lucy was little, it might help, scroll down to the section about ears..... :aimeeyork Yorkie Maltese Products and Bows: Grooming Instructions |
Madison's started going up at 12 weeks, and were fully up by 14 weeks. I would probably give it a couple more weeks and see what happens.:) |
