My Morkie is almost 5 months old and is likely teething both ears are floppy but one in the last day flops over her eye at times and the other doesn't.Will this correct itself?

It's impossible to know what Mackenzie's ears are going to do. Yorkies can have upright or rose ears. Maltese have rose ears. Given that she is a mixed breed, it's impossible to know what her ears are going to do. This age is normally when things start to happen with the ears. Ears may be able to be 'trained' and the breeder would be the best person to speak with (at least start there). I hope this helps.
