ears not up yet - Page 1

could anyone on this site please give me some advice on why my young male pups ears are taken there time in comeing up they were up at 3months but have went down again.

How old is your pup now? Sometimes ear carriage is poor during teething.

my pup is just turn 6months now

Relax, chill out and be patient,  pups go thru all kinds of change's.  Time.

It might help to get the pup some bones to chew on this usually helps strengthen around their head....Does the pup get socailized much? This new envrinment/sounds could also help thoose ears g up. One more thing is that I do not allow people to pet/massage my puppies ears until they are older.  With that being said it could also be genetic. My last  two pups ears went up for good I'd say before 14 weeks.

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.
