    Frenchie with droopy ear

    I have a 10-week old French Bulldog puppie with one droopy ear. My breeder tells me that it will correct with time. My vet tells me that she has seen this in other breeds and it generally corrects in time (but has never seen it in a frenchie). In another websites forum someone suggested adding bone meal to the puppy's food. Anyone have any experience with this and know what to do? Will taping the ear help?

    do you have any pictures that would show the problem?  There are alot of breeds that have droopy ears when small and it does correct itself over time.
     
    But as for the taping, if it helps a Collies ears to tip I guess it could work for an opposite effect if taped up correctly

    Ears generally droop due to a growth spurt that is happening, the calcium is going to the dogs skeletal system.  When this happened with my X, I added a bit of cheese to his kibble, or yogurt, or even a bit of cottage  cheese.  Don't add alot of it, but a little will keep the calcium levels up a bit while he's growing.
