Another ear question - Page 2

They don't have worms the last puppy check the fecal was clear, but thanks for that suggestion.

Don't give up, stop worrying they will go up.

I had a litter last year of 8 puppies, I kept in touch with all owners and a couple said that they were worried about the ears as they were large and took a while to go up for good but at last photos aged 7 months they look GREAT.

Rather large but GREAT.

They will come up.  I'm with Jackie the funny ear stage is the best part of a gsd pup! My favorite is the flying nun stage, that's when all of mine really learn the here command, because it is so funny to watch them run, everybody stations themselves far enough away that the pup has to run and we take turns calling them to us, and laughing hysterically.  Just enjoy and relax!!

I am also sure they will go up, especially as they have already been up and you are doing all the right things. (are they up at the bases at all?).  Personally I only ever had one pup with ear problems, I used gelatin since he was small but in the end the glucoasmine/chondroitin tablets (Osteocart) seemed to work, though this could have been just a coincidence and maybe they would have gone up anyway at that time.  But I am talking about a pup that was   a lot older than yours before both ears were up, he turned out totally fine.   In any case I still say its much too early to worry yet, I have seen pups in the 4-6 month category at shows with their ears  down and still get good places.  Good luck!

Well this morning one of boy's ears was up!  It is the one that has been the weakest one the whole time.  This morning it is straight up and strong like a champ!  So as you all have said I'm sure I'm worrying over nothing.  You can't help but to worry though you always want to make sure you are doing everything and giving them the best you can.  Thank you everyone for you words of encouragement!

my pup was 4-5 months before his ears where totaly solid up they kept floping and such also i have noticed the longer haired dogs in the litters i have bin around have taken longer for their ears to come up i dont know if its just coincidance or if the extra hair makes a idfferece in the weight
