Clipping a dog's ears can pose several risks, including infection, excessive bleeding, and pain. The procedure can also lead to complications such as scarring or changes in ear shape. On the other hand, some argue that clipped ears can reduce the risk of ear infections and improve airflow, potentially benefiting the dog's overall ear health. However, it's essential to weigh these potential benefits against the risks and consider alternative, less invasive options for ear care.
NO
If the dog you're asking about is a small white dog (a West Highland White Terrier), the answer is no, its ears were not clipped. That breeds' ears are naturally small, pointy, and stand straight up.
Submerging babies' ears in water during bath time or swimming activities can potentially increase the risk of ear infections due to water entering the ear canal. However, it can also help babies become more comfortable with water and improve their overall water safety skills. It is important to ensure that the water is clean and at a safe temperature to minimize any potential risks.
Babies can get water in their ears from activities like bathing or swimming. This can lead to ear infections, irritation, or temporary hearing loss. It's important to dry their ears gently after exposure to water to prevent complications.

The price for ear cropping is usually between $250 and $350.
A dogs ear hair should be clipped by a professional dog groomer or veterinarian practice. Cosmetic surgery on dogs ears and tails are procedures banned by most canine societies these days. Such mutilation is unlikely to be performed by veterinarians who genuinely care about the animals under their knife.
After cropping, dog's ears are stitched by the veterinarian and the owner is usually supplied with pain medication to give the dog. The ears will then need daily dressing to keep them clean and in the correct position. After a few monoths they will have healed.
Antibiotic ointment is usually safe for dogs. On clipped ears you can use it if there is no infection or open wounds. If these are present, you should take them to the Vet to get proper care and medication.

No, unless you don't want them to have huge ears, because they almost ALWAYS stand up straight and they are ALWAYS huge, like bat ears. Take it from someone who has a 1 1/2 year old Boston Terrier. He has HUGE ears. Really really big ears. I wouldn't recommand doing that though.
Yes they are, however when they are born their ears are closed like most newborns and they stay droopy until about 10-12 weeks of age. There are some pups who will have one ear that doesn't come up. You can stabilize it with a little splint, but that does not always work. So unless you were planning to show him my advise is to just love him anyway.He will still be adorable.
