Dogs ears Why are my dogs ears like flapped down and he never really raises them like a yorkie is supposed to....weird??!? |
Yorkies are supposed to have upright ears but some have weak ear flaps that don't ever stand. When they are puppies it is best to have the fur on top of the ears trimmed short so the weight of the fur does not hold the ear down. Some people prefer the ears down. I thought I would prefer ears down until her's went up. It is just so funny when she uses those hears to express herself.:) |
yeah id think itd be cool to have them up so can i still get them to raise up if i keep trimming them? |
Trimming will help, but if they don't have the right ear structure they may never stand. |
I'm not sure at what age they will not go up. You can sure try to help them. Keep the fur trimmed short. I have also read that giving about a teaspoon of cottage cheese a day will help the cartilage form in the ears. They need that hard tissue to form to hold the ear up. The added calcium helps with that. |
How old is your dog? Some dogs have ears that will never stand, but if you trim the hair that is weighing them down when they are young, they are more likely to stand up. |
