Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! If Willa is acting normal then the temperature of her ears probably doesn’t mean anything. The blood vessels in ears are small and can dilate or construct depending on the ambient (room temperature). Just like how our hands and feet can get cold but we feel fine. I hope this helps! Have a good day!
