Question about ears coming unglued

[coopersmom]

Casey had his ears glued down last week when I picked him up. He is nine weeks today. Today the glue on one ear came loose and it is no longer glued down. THe ear is tipped now. Other ear is still glued. Should I glue the one that came loose back down? Not that I know how to do that but if I need to i'll try to find a groomer who can do it. Just curious, do the ears ever naturally tip? we glued Cooper's ears several times and they never stayed down. Randy's ears were perfect when we got him at 12 weeks. Anyone here in the Lexington KY area?

You can glue it back down if you want them to stay tiped. Some shelties need help with their ears and others have a beautiful set without tape or glue. From what I remember there are a few ear tipping threads here, so you can get advise from there. Also how old id he? Did you get him as an older puppy or young? If he's older (past 6 to 8 months) than his ears may already be set. But even so, I would still glue them if I were you. Better safe than sorry!
