Question
My Boston Terrier puppy is 8 1/2 weeks old. Two days ago his left ear started to flop over backwards. Will it stand up? or is there something I should do? It just stays bent backwards, the other ear is still flopped forward. What should I do?

Answer
Hello RaeAnn,  Best wishes on your new little Boston Terrier!
This is normal for puppy ears to flop forward or back.
You can apply some light pressure and push upward - do this a few times per day.
Make sure it is light pressure.

BEST wishes...
