I had similar problems with my puppy and emailed a fellow member on the board (Bob-O) and he emailed me some templates that you can cut out of toilet paper rolls and then you use a special glue in their ears. If the base of the ear seems sturdy, I've also had some success with using a popsicle stick. You coat it with the glue (if I remember I think it's Tear Mender, got it at Farm and Fleet) and put it towards the outside edge of the ear, making sure you brace it well at the base of the ear so it isn't top heavy. This steers you away from having to glue the entire inside of the ear and the mess of cleaning the residue once the forms fall out. I tried gelatin, having the puppy chew on things, etc., but sometimes that doesn't work. Sometimes ears need some intervention to go up and stay up so I wouldn't wait too long to get some inserts in because the older they get, the harder it is and the ears may never stay up.
