I don't want to tape them, they are coming up, 2 pups already, but 2 look like they are but I don't want to wait too long, can someone tell me some other way than taping, I have heard about using eye lash glue and construction paper, has anyone ever done this one. I have shaved their ears since week 2, so its not the hair on the ears. Thanks for any help

I have heard that supplementing calcium with cottage cheese can help and that massage can help. I have tried the massage and did see an improvement. I finally ended up taping Luna's ears at 10 weeks with the blue painter's masking tape. I was really worried they would never come up.

Kim, I have heard that you don't want to do it too early. I know that Kalina's ears didn't come up until she was 13 or 14 weeks and she has very perky ears now. I didn't do anything except keep the tips shaved.

My girl puppy is exactly the same way as Kalina was. She has one ear up right now and one almost up. I have them completely shaved and I'm pretty sure they'll both be up and perky in a few weeks.
