My Yorkie's Ears My puppy was born on April 28 on would be 4 months soon next week. His ears us still not standing up. When will his ears stand up? Should I do anything? I massage it everyday. Do I need to bring him to the groomer to shave the tipif his ears so to help him make hus ears stand up. Eceryone's advise is appreciated. Thanks |
Our yorkie Kinder's ears were down so we taped them . Our vet shaved her ear hair partially off and put tapes on. Our breeder showed us also how to do it. Kinder's ears have been standing for over a week now and she is going on 5 months old born 4/3/2010. You have to be consistent tape 3 days then take the tape off for a day. It takes two people to tape because they are so wiggly. Keep the hair off the ears too. Best thing is go to your breeder or have your vet show you how. Hope this helps you. Also the ears go down when teething sometimes. Sue |
Try shaving them, and see if that helps. If it doesn't then you'll have mto tape them. There are many ways to do it, you can search on here for it or just google it |
Shaving the tips can help. It gets the extra wieght off of the tops of the ears. But sometimes a yorkies' ears just stand up late or not at all. I don't have any experience with taping the ears, so I can't help you there. I've heard (don't know if its true or not) that sometimes the larger pups' ears may stand up later than a smaller pup's ears. |
Bilbo was nearly a year old before his ears finally both stood up permanently. He weighs eight pounds and has "bat ears". Shaving his ears helped, but we thought the one floppy ear was pretty cute! |
I tipped/shaved the ends of their ears on all three of my yorkies almost as soon as I brought them home. I also fed them a little cottage cheese and/or plain yogurt. I didn't have to tape them. :) |
:D could be teething too the ears go up and down ...:animal-pa |

Great advice here, but just want to speak up on behalf of our floppy-eared friends (being that mine is one ;)). If your baby's ears don't go up, it's not the worst thing in the world...happy and healthy is the goal. And I must admit, there are some pretty adorable floppy-eared babies I've seen on here! |

You can also try greek yogurt. It has more protien. That what I feed Fynnlie, he gets about a tbsp once a week just mixed in with his food. |
I don't remember which website I found this on .... I wish i could remember cause she is brilliant , I tryed it and it worked. I had a puppy that was 6 months old and her ears still were not standing. Even shaving them..and taping them ,She would have that off in under an hour. Take a paper grocery store bag cut into shape of yorkies ear.... Glue on this inside of the ear with eyelash glue (only put glue on 2 sides.) After about 3 days they just fall off. Her ears stayed up after one time. Carmen |
