My French Bulldog Pug mix puppy's ears: Will they ever stand up?

This is likely just her. You could look up ways to tape up her ears to help them stand up but it may or may not work. Sometimes with a little more time they will eventually stand up completely but may not. This is not likely due to her nutrition. I would just make sure she is on a high quality puppy food until she is 1 year old. I hope this helps!

They will likely not stand up again as the ear hematomas usually heal with a degree of crippling of the ears. Even tho she had surgery, there may not be enough strength or ability there to keep the ears upright. At the end of the day it is a matter of cosmetics, ie we humans think it is pretty when they are upright, but the dog could care less and it may be more humane to just leave the ears alone now.

It will take up to 18 months for the ears to stand up. So now they are floppy, tomorrow one ear may stand up and the other not, then floppy again... By the time your puppy is about 18 months old the ears should be the way they will be for the rest of its life.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! It takes time for the cartilage in the ear to strengthen and stand up permanently. I wouldn’t be concerned at this time about his ears as he is still young and growing. It is also normal for his baby teeth to fall out- and all should have fallen out by 6 months. It sounds like Noble is right on track! Kisses to Noble!

It is different for each dog. Some dogs have ears that stand up right away while others require some time and patience. If his ears perk up when he is excited or when called, then they likely will stand up eventually. Usually, by 6 months of age, the ears are up all the way.

It's impossible to know what Mackenzie's ears are going to do. Yorkies can have upright or rose ears. Maltese have rose ears. Given that she is a mixed breed, it's impossible to know what her ears are going to do. This age is normally when things start to happen with the ears. Ears may be able to be 'trained' and the breeder would be the best person to speak with (at least start there). I hope this helps.

Those spots on Pepper's ears could be due to superficial bacterial infections, superficial irritation or mites. Make sure Pepper does not scratch at them as this could cause them to worsen. Sometimes these little spots will clear on their own. I recommend to point them out to his vet when he is in for his next vaccine visit. The doctor will likely give you an ointment to apply to the lesions. I hope this is helpful and please feel free to post additional questions.
