I kept my Pixie's ears shaved until they stood up on their own which took her a while bc of teething. I never taped them but I did keep them shaved. I still keep them trimmed. One ear was up at 12 weeks and then the other not completly until she was about 5 months.

I would do it now. they are usually up by 6 weeks. You can try just shaving them to see if that helps and then if not, you can tape them.
