oh yeah this happened after I took her to show her to my neighbor and her dog was growling at KoKo could that have had something to do with it?

Welcome to YT I'm not really sure what you're asking. Would you mind explaining what happened in a little more detail?

Hi there. Your yorkie is super young. That's why the ear flopped. They will go up and down several times probably...especially when teething ensues.

Welcome to YT! It is hard to get a hang on a forum sometimes..posting pics here is hard at first. Make sure you size them right. They have to be less than 200 kb.

I wanted to just say congrats on your little one. Please be very very careful taking her out of the house and, especially, around other dogs. She's too young to be around other dogs right now..until all her shots are finished. Also, these little ones are highly suceptible to hypoglycemia so please learn the symptoms of that and keep your eyes open. Keep puppy nutrical on hand. It can, quite literally, be a life saver in the event of low blood sugar. These little ones can go downhill super fast if that happens. Not trying to scare you...just educate and prepare you

And again..for the ears..it could've been fear but it will probably come back up. They do tend to go up and down during the very young times.

There was an episode of the Dog Whisperer where Cesar moved a dog's ears forward with his hand, which caused another dog to attack. If this is what you are referring to, I would say yes, it's possible the dog misinterpreted your pup's body language. But also keep in mind, I do not think a puppy's body language is the same as an adult dog.

Like Mandi'sMom said, I've heard that ears pop up & down during teething. I'm no expert when it comes to ears though. I have one floppy-eared Yorkie, one with both fully erect ears & one with one erect ear and one floppy ear.

I think having all the ear combinations possible does make you an expert in yorkie ears- just my opinion!

Welcome to YT! I'm glad you found us. I was told to massage my pups ears to get them to stand. I sat with her and she let me scratch/ rub her head as much as I wanted. You can try that to see if they come back up. She's a puppy, and Mandismom said it best- at this age the ears go up and down.

morgan's ears do the same thing// he has one ear that goes up and down// if something catches his attention the up it will come and when he is really tired it goes down
