Pet's info: Dog | German Shepherd | Female | unspayed
Hello my German Shepard is 6 months old and her ears haven't gone up. They do to up for like a few seconds then drop back down. Is there any way I can help her or can I tape her ears? If they don't go up I understand but i would like to help raise them up.

Hi and thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Sorry to hear that about Elliw (Ellie?). She may be a little too old now to work on those ears but you could still consult with your vet to see what they think. People have used all kinds of supports and tape to get ears to stand. Consult with your vet. Maybe seek out a veterinarian who trims ears and is more familiar with the management of the ears after surgery. They may have some better ideas for supporting the ears. I wish you the best of luck.
