ear curling

Question
I have a 2 month old lab puppy whose ear has started to curl at the tip.  It feels a little thicker than the ear that is not curling.  Should I be concerned?
Thank you

Answer
I would be. I don't know of any congenital defects that cause this. It is usually from an ear tip that gets fly bit or has been injured somehow.

You should have the vet look at it when he goes in for his next vaccination which should be this week or so.
