Ear went back down

[janetvav]

Gracie Ann had both ears down when we got her at 13 weeks so I shaved the top of them and they both went up so I was so excited but now this week one ear is back down and the other one is still up. She is now 17 weeks old so I suppose possibly she could possibly be cutting teeth or maybe I should try shaving it again. I will love her either way but she looked so cute with both ears up.

We went through the exact same thing with Bristol. Kept them shaved and she got through teething and both are up. She also had a little ear infection throughout part of that time and was treated for that. You are right up down or sideways I would love her just as much!

It is best to keep them shaved. I also have heard that after they are done teething, they may stand up, but remember that is hear say. I would ask the vet. The vet can tape them, but I think it is uncomfortable to the dog.

Gracie Ruths went up and down all through her teething. I just kept them tipped and that helped a lot. Yogi's I've had to keep nearly his whole ear shaved and at 16 months his are just now staying up the entire time between hair cuts.

Just keep her ears tipped and they should stay up.
