Normally a French Bulldog starts raising its ears around 40 days. If they never stand, it may be calcium deficiency; supplement with calcium tablets or powder plus calcium-rich foods like tofu skin, bone broth, goat milk, beef, chicken breast, and egg yolk. More sunlight helps vitamin D and calcium absorption. If ears still do not stand after supplementation, a genetic defect or ear disease may be the cause.
