What?

"My 5 month old dog has one ear that stands up and one the flops down, can you tape that ear so it'll stay up?"
"Well, that's older than we usually do anything with ears, we can try but it probably won't do much good."
"Too old?! I was told to start taping them when her first teeth came in."
"And that would have been when she was about 4 weeks old."
"Really? So if she's 15, 16 weeks old now, it's too late?"
(uhm... 15 weeks is not 5 months. Still too old, but not 5 months) Woman then tangents abruptly to saying that the receptionist is always so skinny and how does she do it? genetics? diet? exercise?


As a side note, when I spoke to this person about this dog and her ear problem a week ago, the dog was purportedly 3 months.

Time travel always causes problems like this.

VIN has writings about dogs, both small and large breeeds, that will have one ear "floppy" while teething, and some ears go back to perky after teething is complete. Have seen a case of my own already (scary) in a chihuahua. She went back to her perky (and snippy) little self at 7 mo when I saw her last week.

Tell freak to wait and see.

Good to know, I suppose. I think this one's been floppy her whole life. Woman doesn't want the ears cropped (thankfully!) just wants us to make it stand up somehow.
