Is 8 months too late to get ear to stand? After a year of looking, I finally found my precious yorkie girl. I am in love with her but have a question. One of her ear stands, and the other falls pretty flat. The problem is she is now 8 months old. I got her at 4 months old. I've tried taping the ear in the past, and when I took the tape off, it would stand for a few days beautifully, and then would fall down again. I've had it on her off-and-on since I got her. I've heard somewhere that after 7 months it is too late. Is that true? Is there anything I can do? I adore her either way, but would love it if I could get this one ear to stand. Any suggestions???? Also, what is the average age that they stop growing? Thanks. I've had maltese and shih-tzus but this is my first yorkie so I'm learning as I go. Thanks for any and all suggestions:):) |
I don't think it's too late. Try massaging that ear. Does she have a lot of hair on her ears? If so, you could clip the hair at the top of the ear so there is no weight on it. Good luck! |
Welcome to YT. My Ruby is 8 1/2 mos and hers ears fluctuate up and down still. So, what does the future hold??:confused: |
Floppy ears are SOOO cute though:) |
not at all. Hot Rod's ears didn't stand until he was 8 mos old. |
My friends Yorkie - Zaxby's has one ear up and one ear flopped over - so cute!! |
Thanks for your replies. She is adorable but I really would like both ears standing! One is perfect, the other...Yes, I keep them both shaved. I am going to try massaging it - hadn't heard of that before, thanks. Should I tape it again or is 8 months too old for that to work? One time I left the tape on for almost 3 weeks. Her ear stood for a week after that, which was the longest it ever stayed up, but then went right back down. |

Thank you. I love her so much and think she is just adorable too:) Btw - massaging her ear does seem to do some good. It still goes down but has been standing up more often since I started that. :animal-pa |
I looooooooved Holly's floppy ears, I thought they were so cute. One ear went up at 4 months, then the other followed at 5 months. I guess it's different for each yorkie. Maybe it will go up in time. |
Hahahaha. this is soo funny. My little 5 lbs guy has perfect ears. The not so little 6 mth old girl (9lbs and counting)has the cutest floppy ears, they both flop at different angles, sometimes one will stand up but never both. Gives her amazing character. I love them that way and am doing everything in my power to keep them flopped over. I used to show YT's, these are pets, no wraps,no bows, no fussing. Just run around with the other dogs and enjoy life. I would however love to get some idea of how long this little 6 mth old girl is going to keep growing. As my others were all show they stayed under 5lbs full grown. |
