bonsai Webboard User Reg: 04-27-2002 Posts: 1 Loc: Offline	My 18 week GSD has one up ear and one down ear (really flat). I read the article on taping the ears but it did not adddress taping just one ear. I did that yesterday to the left ear and the ear is hanging very far to the left side of the pups head. Do I need to tape both so that I can support the droopy one. I don't want to screw this up....thanks

At what age should the ears be up. I know that during teething the ears may come down again. Is there a chance that the one that hasn't been up will make it after teething? My dog is my dearest Man says it's a sin He was loyal in the storm But man not even in the wind

I have a 13month old GSD that has one up an one down.....looks terrible and i dont want to have an ear that holds moisture and causes infections. I have a cross breed that had and ear injury to the outer area and now it is down it is so prone to infection its not funny....especially for the poor dog! Julie
