...his right ear is getting all floppy...at 4 months old. What gives? His ears have been fully erect since 10 weeks.

teething.

Teething, very normal. They will come back up after he is done with that.

They beat me to it! Yep...definitely teething. Cheyenne's ears have been PERFECT since she was 12 weeks...now she is teething and they are all over the place! It makes getting up in the morning fun...to see what she is going to look like today!

Triads ears are almost up except the very top. i think i read somewhere on here ears say up when they are about 6 months old?

They will go up & down occasionally! Perfectly normal!!

I didn't know teething would cause that. Good to know. He looks silly though, haha.

Well where is our floppy eared picture then!? You should know were gonna ask for one!!

Get some fresh raw knuckle bones, helps with the urge to chew, and the cartilage in the bone is healthy...muscles in the jaw/face will help the ears to stay strong, not limp. Stores sell them as soup bones.
