My little chihuahua's name is Maxie.  He is 5 1/2 months old. The tips of his ears are flopped over and I was wondering if they will ever stand straight up.  Once in a while I will see one ear up but not both.  Is there a certain age that they will either stand up or just stay the same?  Even if they stay the same, I won't care.

It gives him character and is cuter.

Would appreciate any info.

 

HI,
IF YOU WANT TO SEE SOME OPINIONS OF THIS PROBLEM, LOOK INTO THE FORUM-CHIHUAHUA GENERAL DISCUSSIONS - EARS?, PAGE 3.
I THINK YOU WILL FIND SOME ANSWERS TO YOUR QUESTION.

My Chihuahua's ears do the same thing! I would love for her ears to stay up, but they keep changing; they are usually down. She does have an ear infection and ever since I started putting the medicine in her ears they seem to stand up a little more, but that probably has nothing to do with it. She is only around 14 weeks old, but my other Chi had her ears up when she was 8 weeks old; go figure.

Thank you so much for your reply.  I have been reading many books and they say it can take up to a year.  He is still teething and I know that has alot to do with it.

Also, since I wrote this message they have been standing up a little more.

(You are right, I would love my Maxie with his ears up or down)

Your Chi is beautiful!  Some day I want to get Maxie a friend.
