Ears pop up? soon? never? Wondering if Tidbits ears will ever pop up? they are about half way up now? the breed gave me the line that if I rub them they will, :confused: hhmmm, she made me wonder if she was nutts... Anyhow let me know please :aimeeyork |
How old is Tidbit? |
he's 8 weeks old |
He is still really young yet. Both of mine were down at that age and came up on their own. If they dont come up you can shave and tape them. |
okay this may sound stupid , but shave and tape? |
Yes its where you shave the excess hair off of the ear and tape it up. I dont know how to tell you how to do it because I didnt have to but hopefully someone else will see this and tell you. You could also do a search about it. It has been talked about many times. |
here is a very good instructional sight for taping the ears... http://members.cox.net/jrogan/ears.html |
Tidbit may still be a little young. I think Trace's starting popping up around 3 months...and even then....sometimes up sometimes down. I had been told about massaging them too. I never taped his, but I did trim the hair on his ears to make them less heavy and that seemed to help. |
Kiwi has one ear up and the other one down. I trimed a little hair off her ear and have been massaging throughout the day. This probably isn't as effective as the taping, but I want to keep her the way she's supposed to be :} |

I think she's cute with one up and one down. :) Some on here have yorkies whose ears are just like hers. Btw, I love her name ;) |

My Ruby had one ear up and one down just like your Kiwi. The one was totally flat down. Now at 6 months it just popped up the last 3 days... go figure. I did nothing but keep the hair trimmed |

Our Shuga is two and one half years old, she adopted us in June 2005. She has right ear up and left down. To me it just makes her more adorable. She's no show dog, but could have no greater value to my wife and me because she loves us without reservation as we do her. Now that I think about it I'm not for show either and one of my ears may be a little droopy too. Bob |

Shuga has a great set of parents!!!!! |
I used a little moustache trimmer razor thing to trim Bailey's ears up starting when he was 4 or 5 months old. His breeder suggested it, and the vet told me that it was good to keep their little ears trimmed b/c it helps reduce the risk of ear infections and that nasty kind of stuff and said that he was glad I started him doing it. That way he'd be used to it. His ears popped up within 2 or 3 days of trimming the fur, and if you have someone hold them and distract them with a treat they're as good as gold, or at least Bailey was |
