Ears not up as yet

Karen

Hi guys my EBT Tyson is 17weeks old and his ears are not up as yet, how long does it normally take for their ears to stand up.

EBT ears need to be taped up 4-6 days their ears do not stand up by themselves. Your Vet can tape them up for you.

Maybe I struck lucky. My current 3 year old is my first ever EBT and his ears stood up with no tape or food supplements needed within 4 months. Seemed I went to bed one night and the next morning there they were.

Has anyone heard of massaging an ear to make it stand. We have been taping, supplements, you name it we done it

I'm sure your Bull Terrier will love the attention of getting the ears massaged but it's not going to do anything to help with the ears standing correctly. Hopefully you read the link I posted above.

Is this a difference between US and UK Bullies? Our bully boy had his ears up almost as soon as he came to us, 8 weeks. Nobody suggested taping them...

Most will go up all on their own especially the smaller more "Terrier" type Bull Terriers. However, some of the more "Bull" type Bull Terriers often require assistance. It often depends on the genetics and bloodlines of the individual dog.
