Pailin Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 (edited) Lolly has one ear, her right one, that actually folds onto her head. It is a constant thing and looks really cute atm and freaking hilarious sometimes . I am just wondering if it will correct itself as she matures? It is mainly just when she perks her ears up IYKWIM?

Pailin Posted September 14, 2008 Author Share Posted September 14, 2008 And no I am not one of those OTT people who walk their dogs in prams . We had all fone for a walk and I hadn't collapsed the pram when we got back so Lolly decided that it would be a comfortable place to sleep....

DeltaCharlie Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 Looks similar to Missy's ears. She went from this: To this: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janba Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 It is probably due to teething. Ears do all sorts of wonderful things as pups teeth but settle down as they finish their teething. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adele Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 Yes my pup had ears that did that and scared us for a little while because it did make her look a little 'dorky'. They eventually corrected themselves so they sit normal now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pailin Posted September 14, 2008 Author Share Posted September 14, 2008 Phew! Thank you all! It's nice to know she won't look quite so lopsided forever lol! Wouldn't have mattered either way really but it's nice to know . DeltaCharlie- What breed is Missy? She's gorgeous! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benny123 Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 On of our pups went through 'weird ear' when he was teething - cute really. Weird puppy ear Normal adult ear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rysup Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 It *should* go back, but if not you can tape it in place and train it to stay down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WreckitWhippet Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Get the tearmender non toxic glue out and glue it into place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't have mattered either way really but it's nice to know .DeltaCharlie- What breed is Missy? She's gorgeous! Not entirely sure, mostly AmStaff (but not quite bulky enough for me to say definitely full although she may be). My sister took her off a friend of her ex that had 2 pups (brother and sister) and was rewarding them for bullying other dogs. She was only about 11 or 12 weeks old luckily and is now a wonderful dog (well as wonderful as a non-border collie can be ). My sister's friend took the brother, no idea how he is going.

Bow Wowy Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 It *should* go back, but if not you can tape it in place and train it to stay down. My dad had "sticky-outy" ears when he was a kid, so his mum used to tape them back against his head. I am happy to say they are normal now.

Pailin Posted September 15, 2008 Author Share Posted September 15, 2008 (edited) Get the tearmender non toxic glue out and glue it into place. Is that a serious suggestion?? I have never heard of such a thing. Isn't that a bit ummm.....extreme? I would imagine it would be uncomfortable on the dog to not have the range of movement in their ears that they should.

ZEPING Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 yeaha thats happening right now with my GSD ears the advice which is reputable seems to be that the ears will eventually go up if they havent by about 5mths to tape the ears and it realli isnt a jok !!

LoremIpsum Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 I have nothing to add except I love seeing all these puppy to adult pics. More please! I also have a question — why does teething affect a puppy's ears? How does it work? Martha is teething, but she's just got floppy doppy Labrador ears and... oh... *gets distracted and runs off to shower kisses on Labrador puppy's gorgeous floppy doppy ears* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
