Question

one ear of my dog is standing while other is down. Is it normal. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Male | unneutered | 5 months and 25 days old | 33 lbs

That could be completely normal, but sometimes (not very often I have to admit) is related to ear infection/inflammation. If you see any signs of possible inflammation (head shaking, scratching, discharge from ear, redness of skin..) then a check up is needed, otherwise I would consider it normal. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.
