Pupdate from the Crate: My Ear! What is Happening?

Hi Peeps, today Mom is truly freaked out about something new she sees on me.  My right ear s now quite different from my left ear.  Mom is going to show you photos and if anyone can help calm her down, I would appreciate it.  She noticed my right ear now folds back or is more upright and my left ear is just the same as always, floppy down.

I was at daycare yesterday and had a great day, but now Mom wonders if I somehow broke my ear.  Is that even possible?

Dad says it's a growth spurt and I can't break my ears.  Mom doesn't believe that for a minute.  It is not sore and I can still move it, but it never goes forward anymore.

So anyone who can help or has any ideas, would you let us know?  Is this the Border Collie part of me coming out?  Hope you are having the best day ever while I try to keep Mom calm.

  1. Dear Ardie, I think it's just a growth thing but tell your mom that the vet would know for sure. Your ear doesn't have any bone in it and it's possible for cartilage to tear but your ear would hurt if it were torn.

  2. Thanks! My ear doesn't hurt to touch it, but the other day I was shaking my head a bit more than usual for part of the day. Mom even looked in my ears because she thought I had something in it. ThenI just stopped. We appreciate your help. Leonberger ears didn't do this, but Daisy had ears similar to mine. Mom is always worried about something.

  3. We had a border collie named Bandit whose ears did weird things to. Mama has to worry, buddy, that is her job because she loves you so much.
