| ears At what age do thier ears stand up? louie is three months and they stand up a little but not for long. should i be concerned yet? the nurse at the vets office told me not to worry about it that it would just happen. Also does anyone have any advice on feeding? How much and how many times I day.? He is on all natural dog food.: |

| hello his ears should be standing on thier own now,sometimes they need a little help so this is how, first groom the ear( shave the tips) then get some medical tape first put about an inch of tape(size of tape depends on size of ear) apply to front of ear first any hanging over just fold over on back of ear. then do the same to the back of ear and one more time to front,this should hold them(he is gonna hate this) leave it on for 2 days if he gets it off before(he will try!!!) just put more on they should go up if not give him a bit of a break(a few hours) and put it back on if they aren't up in a couple of weeks then you probably have a yorkie with floppy ears,they are just as cute. good luck
