A dog's ears can suddenly go floppy due to a condition called "ear hematoma," which is a collection of blood between the skin and cartilage of the ear flap. This can be caused by trauma, infection, or Allergies. It is important to have your dog examined by a veterinarian to determine the underlying cause and appropriate treatment.

Why do dogs have floppy ears?
Not all domestic dogs have floppy ears that go down. Many domestic dogs including retreivers (Golden, labrador, duck-tolling and flat-coated retreivers) and some species of wiener dog (also called a dashund) have long floppy ears. But some other domestic dogs including huskies and german sheperds have ears that are pointed and go right up like a cat's.
Do animals with big ears hear better than those with small ears?
Not usually. It depends on the breed, though. Because most small dogs have flappy ears, their hearing is generally impaired compared to their pointy eared cusins. Dogs whos ears sort of go up then flop, as well as get pulled back against the head ((like a gray hound)) usually have the best hearing. Dog's with pointy ears that stick straight up are second in line, and dogs who have floppy ears are usually deaf compared to other breeds.
