Floppy ears at 5 months!

[Rachael]

Hi there everyone!

I'm needing a little piece of mind from all you French bulldog owners! My 5 month old puppy Ronnie worries me a little! His ears aren't standing up! Is this normal at this age? I've read bits and bobs that it is up to this age but I wondered if any of you have experienced the same?

Sorry, I have no experience here. He is adorable and looks like he is loved a lot!

I have no experience either but there are other threads here that talk about this issue. I believe it can be due to teething and I think some plain yogurt can help (for the calcium). But I would do a search and look at the other threads.

since he is still potentially teething, they may bounce back when he is done.
[MENTION=4]davidh[/MENTION] -- any other insight?

I don't have any thing else to add. Hopefully once he is done teething, the ears will stiffen up again.

Have you considering Ear Taping?

Have you considering Ear Taping?

I would not recommend taping. I don't believe it works and it will drive the pup crazy.

He is adorable! I wouldn't tape ears either. Buster arrived at 8 weeks with his ears super glued down because he was supposed to be an English Bulldog (like his Mamma).

First thing we did is get the glue shaved off!
