My Lil Pearlas Ears? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

yorkiepearla · 07-23-2007, 03:11 PM

hey all ive had my yorkie pearla since july 10 and i pretty much almost have her trained to potty outside already...its great shes a smart one!! Question is i noticed the last 2 days her left ear stays up but her right ear is still floppy(down)...she'll be 3 mnths tomm. Should i be concerned ? Will her other ear spruce up?

if i were you i would tape it up for about three days. have you shaved the hair off? the hair grows pretty fast and when I have to tape one, i shave the ear each time.

I shaved down 9 week old Soleil's ears and they popped right up...here is a before and after..

ahh i havent done anything to her ears ive only had her for 2 wks tomm. am i supposed to do anything to her ears? when i got her she had cute floppy ears now one is sticking up and the other is floppy--i think they look cute floppy but would i be able to get the other ear floppy again or is it now about trying to get the other ear straight up? what tape would i be using--sorry but im a new yorkie owner

Rusty's Momma · 07-23-2007, 06:06 PM

They will both end up "up" that is what yorkie ears do. Every once in a while a yorkie will have floppy ears but most usually they are up. Rusty's was lopsided for a couple of days then the other came up.... they are cute like that arent they???

If they are going to stand there is nothing you can do about it lol...thats how yorkies are supposed to look...floppy ears are adorable too..I love the inbetween stage...but I LOVE Soleils ears standing up at such a young age..its soo cute!!

im happy with them remaining floppy or straight up...its just that i want them both to make up their mind instead of one up and one floppy

she has a vet appt sat. should i ask her about it or just tape the one ear thats floppy?

Rusty's Momma · 07-24-2007, 06:49 AM

I would almost bet it will be up by Saturday.

Zoey's have been up and down so many times, I've lost count. Sometimes one is up, sometimes the other. sometimes both. I haven't taped.

My Bella's ears are doing the same thing - one up and one down. Its really cute! Soleil's mommy told me about shaving them so I'm going to try that. Hopefully that will encourage them to stand.

Alison Mc · 07-25-2007, 11:47 AM

Shave the top part of the ears, both sides and you can massage them. They should both come up. Good Luck! I like them up.

Yorkiekids · 07-25-2007, 12:53 PM

Shaving and taping are usually your best bets.

Mom2Zachary · 07-25-2007, 01:42 PM

Zachary is 16 weeks old today and I am having the same trouble with his ears. One is up and the other one is down. I took him and got both ears shaved at the groomers yesterday, so I am hoping the other one will come up on it's own. If not, I plan to tape it in a few more days. Good luck with your little one's ears.
