My Chihuahua Puppy S Ears Are Droopy

My male Chihuahua’s ear have been droopy the last couple of days, does this mean he is sick? They have been erect for about the last 7 months or so and then all of the sudden they seem to be folded the last couple of days. He is still eating ok. He seems ok, I just wonder if the ears are a sign of something unseen? He will be 2 in April 05.

My chihuahua puppy s ears are droopy. Yorkshire terriers are characterized by a set of small ''V''-shaped ears that are carried erect and not set too far apart, according to the American Kennel Club's breed's standard. If you own a puppy with floppy ears, there may still be hope for erect ears depending on the puppy's age and the characteristics of its ears. Chihuahua ears can go up and down throughout the time they are teething. While your Chihuahua puppy is teething, do not be surprised if you see their ears droop. You may see the tip of one ear bend forward one day and then the other on the next day. This is quite normal. To clean your dog’s ears, make a mixture of 1/2 vinegar and 1/2 rubbing alcohol and let it come to room temperature. Then, dip a cotton ball into the liquid and squeeze out any excess fluid so the ball is just damp. Next, lift your dog’s ears and rub the inside of the flap with the cotton ball. Sometimes Chihuahua's ears naturally droop. It's nothing to be worried about, and is not a defect of any sort. They may start to stick up straight again when your dog gets older. On the other hand, they may stay droopy. There is nothing wrong with this, it may just be the way your dog's ears are! Enjoy your pet for his originality.

I just noticed one of my dog's ears drooping. His ears have always been pointy so this caught my attention right away. I took a closer look and his lobe appears to have what appears to be a blister filled with liquid (hence the weight that is making his ear droop). Why Has My Puppy's Ears Suddenly Started Drooping? As your dog's ears develop, you'll see them standing up more frequently. Depending on the size of their ears, they may even stand up partially with the tips drooping down slightly. While it may look a bit ridiculous at first, it's a sign that things are developing correctly. my puppy is 3months old. He is labrador mix. Since he was 3 weeks old, his ears used to be drooping (covering the ear canal). When he was about 2months old, his ear started to be upright. For the last 4 days, one of his ears is drooping and the other ear is upright. He got his canine vaccination 8days ago but the vet injected him on his body and not near the ears. Marius's have been erect since he was born this is him at 3 days old. 2 weeks. 3.5 weeks. and 6 weeks. They have never been floppy but the same breeder I got him from has puppies that do tend to have floppy ears but only until they are about 4 weeks havnt seen it past that.. There are different things that can attribute to it.

my chihuahua puppy's ears dropped about 2 weeks ago. and as you guys know, chihuahuas usually have their ears up. so now she does'nt look like a chihuahua. I have a 13 year old chihuahua who only came into my family a few months ago. I don’t know his full history but he was poorly nourished and in poor dental health when I got him. I’ve taken care of the dental issues and he’s gained almost a pound since November but I am concerned with how to find a proper vet to care for him in his senior. The reason your puppy's ear is flopping is because the fragile cartilage in his ears is breaking down. This could be caused by him scratching at his ears, playfighting with your other dog, or from you petting his ears. Also, some puppies are just going to have floppy ears, same as human characteristics (big nose, green eyes, you get the idea) No matter what your Chihuahua’s ears are like, just let nature take its course. Droopy ears look very cute, so why not just let it be? But, in most cases your Chihuahua’s ears will stand up once they have finished the teething phases, with the pointy and pricky look this breed is famous for. You might also like…

There's not a deadline as to when the ears come back up during teething, so don't hedge on before six month age. by Nans gsd on 02 September 2015 - 17:09 Not to worry; this is only the beginning of the growth spurts these GSD go thru; but really if it was up unless she injured it somehow, pretty sure it will come back up. Between 4 and 7 months of age, if your puppy is meant to have prick ears, they will usually stick up. It can take up to a year for a puppy’s ears to stand.

His ears my try to stand up, but I would bet that by the time he is grown, his ears will be too long to stand and will be floppy. Just give him lots of love and he will be fine.
