Question
Hi Matt,

I have a 13-week-old red tri aussie with one ear up (prick). Is it likely to fold, or mustI be proactive (tape, glue, massage). Should I wait till 5 months to see what happens, or is this an indication? (do these things go up, then fold again?) Would appreciate any counsel/advice.

Thanks.

Answer
If the ear is already prick, glue them.  Usually around that age, the ears do funny things because of teething, but if it's prick, it probably won't go back down.  Usually I'd suggest massaging first, but that'd be if the ears were a little off. Hope this helps, and if you need more info, feel free!:-D
