How Too? 1 Attachment(s) How to I get Roxy's eas to stand????????? |
If your zipcode is correct, you only live a few blocks over. :p Maybe it would help if you took her (assuming Roxy is a her) to a groomer and had the hair trimmed off. If you would rather do it yourself, I'm sure you could find some illustrations of how to do it on Google. I wouldn't worry about it to much. My two seemed like their ears were never gonna go up but they eventually did without me doing anything. |
Try shaving the top 1/2 of her ears, and waiting a couple days. They may stand on their own. Milli's ears flop if we let the hair get too long. Also, try putting a little cottage cheese (1 or 2 percent) on her food-maybe 1/2 tsp. at a time. The calcium will help them stand. Finally, if the first two things don't work, you can tape them to get them to stand. Personally I haven't and wouldn't do this, but I know many people that do. It doesn't hurt the dog, and it should help train the ears to stand. Your vet can show you how, or someone on here can probably tell you how to tape them. |
I got Kallie and Stewies ears both to stand in 3 days. I shaved the hair off the whole ear and then taped them following the method on this womans website below http://www.yorkie.org/dogs/grooming_yorkies.html |

When I have pups, if their ears are not standing by 6 weeks, I shave them and tape. I leave the tape on for 2 days and then remove for one day and repeat until they stand. Hope this helps. |
I too would just completely shave all of the hair off of the front and back of her ears and tape each ear like in the photo and them take a bigger piece and wrap it around both ears to hold them closer together and it may take a couple weeks of doing this before they stand or they may never stand at all. |
If she's still teething, that can cause them to flop due to the calcium loss in the ears. Coby's were both standing up when we got him, then one went down; when it went up, the other went down. Finally, both popped up. Most get stronger on their own as they work through the first teething stage. But the shaving will help not weigh them down. If you're still worried, the taping is an option. I had the directions all printed out, but never had to use them. :aimeeyork |
