Lil's left ear didn't come up permanently until two days ago. Lisl is 17 weeks. Don't sweat it. It will come up whenit's time to.

He's only 3 months old, give it time. Dixies ears didn't come up til she was 5 months old, than one flopped to the side again til she was about 7 months and even them it would half flop. Now she'll be 9 months tomorrow, both her ears are up.. Don't worry about the ears, just love the puppy!

No need to worry, Berlins ears werent up for good until he was 5 months old. Before that, they went up, down, and all around. Im sure it will go up...but not sure all the extra calcium is necessary. Hope more knowledgeable people will chime in with that one. Just let her get a good chew in every once in a while, on a raw bone. Chewing helps the ears go up!

Miss Molly's ears came up between 5 months and 6 months.
They remain very soft and she lets them flop down quite often when she's resting or sleeping.  Here's her ear history in pictorial review --> 6 months already ...

calcium doesnt do anything for their ears, ears are cartilage not bone and they need glucocamine (sp?) not calcium
