Ears Taped/Shaved - at 10 months success story - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Hello All,
I have to tell you - and some thought it wouldn't work at this time - but my babies ears are standing up now! I couldn't believe it.....after all this time.

The left ear is still struggling a bit, so we continue to tape a bit longer, but the right ear is perky as can be........and looks really beautiful - because now there is a fan of fur around her ears now.....(I'm not sure if you know what I mean....but anyway, it looks great).

So don't give up ladies if you want to try when they are a little older, it does still work, not just when they are little puppies

And don't get me wrong, floppy ears are adorable too.....

well I did Ryokos and he is 2. I would not have if his ears were down the whole time. I knew one ear was weak, and thus it flopped and really never stood unless his head we titled up toward me. It would stay after that for 2-3 seconds and then fall down again. Now its been a month and his left ear stands after being tapped on and off for a month or so. I also knew for a fact that it had been up because the breeder told me so.

But yes with persistence it can work.

congrates!

Kisses!

I'll take one later. Her ears are still taped - to help that lefty ear.....and it's green tape so she looks like Shrek!
