Ears HOpe this isn't a goofie question when do a yorkie's ears stand up or should they be up from day one of birth ... she looks like she is trying to hold them up but the top flopps over is there something I can do to make them stand up or will they just stay that way ... sherrie |
How old is your pup? ZoE's ears started to stand on their own at about 9 or ten weeks. If you look at my album, you'll see the progression from full floppy ears to erect ears. |
You can tape them to help them stand before the cartilage sets. Jon-An's Yorkshire Terriers (How to train Yorkies ears to stand) |
She is just 6and 1/2 weeks old will be 7 weeks this saturday .... should I ask the vet tomorrow about taping them .. thank you so much Sherrie |
She is really young. Personally, I'd wait a few weeks & see if they go up on their own. If they aren't up by 12 weeks, then I'd tape them to help them along. |
One of Cupcake's ear has been up for a month. The other one started staying up yesterday. She is 3 months and 3 weeks old. I was worried too, but they are both up now. :animal36 I did keep the hair trimmed off the top of her ears to take the weight off. I just used scissors and kept the long hair off. |
awesome would you mind to show me a pic of what you mean . ... the vet told me she didnt have much cartlidge so I just wondered ... I didn't want to but glue on her ears and not sure about the taping them part .. so if all I would have to do is trim her ears I wouldn't mind that at all ... Sherrie |
1 Attachment(s) I would wait on taping them....Macs ears were up when he was 1-2 weeks old...then flopped down during teething, then popped back up about 9 weeks old.....Now they are bigger than his head!! LOL |
Kody's ears are still down and he's 23 weeks. One came up after his first official grooming session where 1/3rd of hair was removed. Now since his neuter the one that was standing is now down again. |
Thank you very much .... Sherrie |

Also, when yorkie puppies are teething, it affects the ears. Give it a few weeks and keep the hair on the top 1/3 to 1/2 of the ears trimmed. I thought that my babies' ears would never stand up, but after they finished teething- BINGO-they stood up!:p |
Thank you ... HOpe someone can show me a pic of the way to trim the ear's ... Sherrie |
