| Ears I was wondering is it to late for my Y.T. ears to stand up. Sissy is 10 months and Daisy is 11 wks. And is there any suggestion on how i might get them to stand up

| There is a member on here and her dog was over a year old and she got the ears to stand by shaving and taping them. You might search old threads for taping the ears to get some pointers on how to do this

| shaving, taping, and massage... they work I did it on my Schatzi and her ears are standing up! when I first had her ears trimmed down, it was 1/3 the way down and they looked perkier, but not standing. I massaged them every day, but still nothing. Finally after a week I took her to the groomers and hed her shave the inside/outside and sides of the ears 1/2 way down. I took her home, taped her ears (masking tape wrapped around each ear so they were flat and straight) and then I took another strip of masking tape and connected the ears so they stood up straight on top. I left the tape on for 24 hours, and by the next day when I took the tape off, they were standing up. They looked a little floppy for a few hours, they would go up and down, or one up and one down, etc. but by the end of the day they were both staying up. they look great now, nice and perky and up straight ever since. Hope this helps!

| If the ears don't eventually stand, keep your chin up. Floppy ears are cute too. And your baby doesn't care.
