| One down, one to go! One of Bobby's ear sticks up all the time now but the other is still down. At times, we'll see it up & then it'll like fold half way down again. Should I tape or not? Honestly, he's so adorable with his little one ear!

| Paddington's left ear used to flop, and it turned out that it was because of an ear infection. After two days of ear drops his ear was straight up! -O

| Oh, I'm glad you posted because Bobby has an ear infection in the one that isn't sticking up straight. I've been cleaning them daily & he has drops. It's been about a week so hopefully, I'll see an improvement. Mmmm.. then again, his ears smell a lot better & his ear hasn't really popped up. I'll wait it out! Thank you so much!

| I'm so grateful you've posted about this! I've been going through the same confusion with my Bronzee Bear. His two ears were up, and now one goes down! It might be because of an ear infection? Would I have to go to his vet, or could I get over the counter stuff?

| We had that problem when Scully, Fenley and Barkley were teething as puppies. One day all ears up, next day ears would drop, next day one ear up and one down - and back and forth. I've heard it is common during their teething times. We kept the hair trimmed short on the backs of their ears and gave it some time and now all their ears stand up straight. Good luck!

| Wow! I didn't know that it could be a sign of an ear infection. I was just going to post a question about this. Lucy's ears have been up since she was about 9 weeks old, she is 13 now and one of her ears just went floppy, while the other sticks straight up. Do you think she could possibly be having an ear infection? She is on medicine to prevent her cough from turning into pneumonia and she is also taking an Albon suspension because they found a tiny trace of coccidia in her stool sample. |

| I know that dogs anatomy is different than people's, but infants get ear infections a lot while teething. So maybe the teething, ear infection, and droopy ears can all go together? -O
