I was warned this would happen - YorkieTalk.com Forums

One of maggie's ears is kinda flopping over. it is the cutest thing. one is straight up and the other one is flopped over at the top. the tips are shaved but she is teething. I was told that they may flop when she teeths but i didn't realize it would be so cute

when dh gets back with the camera i will take a pic and post it. hehe...i just love her. this totally fits her personality LOL

my question, should I re-tape it? if so, when? or do you think it will stand back up on it's own once she is done teething?

I think since it has already been up it will go back up on its own. At least Jewels one ear that flopped when she was a baby did

yeah, I had to tape them when she was 12 weeks old. they have done great and have stood right up since then. she will put them back a lot of times, it is how I know she is being submissive. but this one is not going all the way up anymore

I know she is teething, all of her front teeth are gone and the new ones on top are starting to show

bless her heart. it was so cute tho, she was snaggle tooth for a while

a couple were missing here and there. I just laughed.

well, if it does not stand back up, we will tape again. if they do not after that, we will just let nature takes its course and I may have a one floppy eared dog

which is totally fine with me. she is adorable either way.

I would give them a few more weeks. I waited until maggie was 12 weeks old. you could always do it now if you wanted but if you think they are trying to do it on their own, just wait a couple more weeks and see what happens.
