| no it is not too late. Shave both sides of the ears, then tape them.

| Tessie is almost 1 year old, her ears went up and down until about 6 months old, now they are both up and huge. Hobbes is 10 1/2 months old, his ears have never been up and it doesn't matter, he is cute anyway. Calvin is 16 weeks old his ears were down, then both were up for 1 week and now one is up and one is down. I never taped their ears just waited to see what happened. The breeder offered to tape them but it really didn't matter to me if they were up or down. I love them anyway. You could probably still tape them. Good Luck.

| Ok...tips on shaving the ears? Should I shave them completely? Or just the edges? Thank you to all for any help!

| One floppy ear Thanks for responding so quickly. I too felt like it didn't make any real difference but I also didn't know what was involved in "fixing" them and didn't want to put him through anything unnecessarily. What is involved in "taping" the ear and for how long? Again, do you think a year old is too late for any correction? Poor little thing - he also has a scraggly looking coat that just doesn't grow. But to us he's the cutest with the best personality !!!! |

| Not too late! Shave about the last one third of ears, both sides. Massage them now and then,that should do it. Good Luck!

| well I have to say no cuz Hot Rod's ears did fully stand up until 8 mos old, just days after his avatar picture was taken. I have the same exact picture of him with his ears up, lol.
