teething and ears advice

ashy1990

hey everyone,

Im looking for some advice on our new little bully pup, Rip.   We got him at 9 weeks old and already he had his ears pricked up very stiffly. A couple days later after bringing him home they seemed go floppy and im stuck as to why?  The only things i have read so far are that maybe teething is the cause... has anyone else had this problem and because they already have been pricked, will they go back up?

thanks

This is common with Bull Terrier puppies. They grow so fast and one second the ears are up and the next they are down. Right now your puppy is only 9 weeks old so it really isn't a big worry. You can always be proactive with his ears by helping him out and taping them. This will enforce the ears to stand a lot quicker and ensure they stand for good. Just leave the tape on for 24 hours and allow him to keep them up on his own. In the event one of the ears flops just reapply.
