First of all, WELCOME to Yorkie Talk! Glad to have you here and congratulation on your puppy! Stormy was 9.5 weeks when her ears went up. I have read here that teething can make them go up and down though. I think she looks so fluffy in that picture because she had a bath and a blow dry and a good brushing the day before I took this.

I meant to say a 10 week old Yorkie, named Tess. I have never heard of taping the ears up, how do you do that? I can see I have alot to learn.

Tess is a cute name! Can't wait to see pictures! Here is one way to tape the ears: Taping Yorkie Ears

I don't blame you for not taping again! Not that it hurts them, but you can tell they sure don't like it. I don't know if it makes a difference or not, but I also had been (still am) giving Stormy 1 teaspoon of low-fat cottage cheese each day. Someone else on here suggested it and I decided it sure wouldn't hurt to try.

I give my 13 week old cottage cheese and yogurt. I shave and have taped his ears numerous times. They are so floppy. When I asked my vet about it she said he looks really cute with floppy ears

They are much floppier than Stormy's were in the first photo. I've taped his ears for no more than 2 days at a time and when I take the tape off his ears stand for 20 minutes.

We are going to attempt 3 days. Poor baby.

Look at Stormy in my avatar pic. That was taken just a few days earlier. It changed fast! Good luck to you... and floppy ears ARE cute too!

From what I understand, the bigger the puppy, the longer it takes or harder it is for their ears to stand up. Let's just say that my Max is growing by the second.
