another ear question... - YorkieTalk.com Forums

I know there have been a lot of threads on floppy ears but I still have to ask. Lola's ears were down when we got her. I taped them with the instructions on one of the threads. One stood up, but the other is still floppy. She is now 20 weeks. I have taped the floppy one several times. It stood for about 2 weeks, but is now down again. Should I keep taping it? The one that is standing feels thicker than the one that is down. She looks so cute either way, but I figured I will try while she is young enough. Thank you, it is so nice to have someone to ask!

I have been keeping them shaved and do massage them. Maybe I haven't been doing it enough. How long do you rub them for? (this could sound really bad if you didn't know what we were talking about! Hee, hee!)
