Why an Alaskan Malamute’s Ears Won’t Stand Up, and What to Do
A Malamute's ears should stand by about 4 months. If they stay down, the usual causes are ear mites (causing vestibular signs like a head tilt), calcium deficiency (poor cartilage/bone growth), or a hereditary 'soft ear' that can't be cured and shouldn't be bred. Treat mites with ear cleaner and a miticide, fix calcium with diet and sunshine, and you can also brace the ear with foam and lash glue for about two months.
When Do Shiba Inu Ears Stand Up, and What If They Don’t?
Purebred Shiba Inu usually prick their ears early—most show signs around 40 days and stand fully by 3–4 months.

Chicken frames give some calcium, phosphorus, protein, but calcium is poorly absorbed. Sharp bones can cut the gut or choke; better to use pet calcium if deficient.
Is a Corgi a small or medium breed?
A small breed. Small dogs are under 10 kg and 40 cm tall; medium under 30 kg and 60 cm. An adult Corgi is about 10 kg and 25-31 cm tall, so it is small. Males are a bit larger. Supplement calcium, as Corgis are prone to deficiency.
At what age do German Shepherds’ ears stand up?
German Shepherds usually have their ears stand up at around 3 months. Ears that rise too early or too late may signal poor nutrition, so supplement the diet with egg yolk and goat milk. Regular deworming prevents parasites from stealing nutrients. If the ears still have not stood up after 6 months, calcium deficiency may be the cause.
Why does my puppy twitch while sleeping?
Twitching in a sleeping puppy is usually just dreaming and is normal. It can also stem from fear in a new home or a calcium deficiency.
Why Is Your Poodle Suddenly Limping?
A Poodle that suddenly limps may have a sprain or strain from play, a fracture, a paw pierced by a foreign object, a joint problem such as hip dysplasia or arthritis, a nerve issue like a slipped disc or neuritis, or a diet so one-sided it lacks vitamins and minerals, weakening the joints and leg muscles. Because Poodles have fine bones and lively temperaments, injuries are common. Rest and a gentle check come first; if the limp persists or worsens, get an X-ray and targeted veterinary treatment.
