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.

Your dogs ear fills with fluid in between the 2 layers would ear cropping be beneficial?

While it's true dogs with floppy ears can have more problems with infections in their ears cropping has nothing to do with it. Please see your vet and they will give you medication (drop form) to put in the dogs ears. Dogs ears should be cleaned every couple of weeks. You can go to a pet store or ask your vet for a Herbal flush (liquid) and put a few drops in to clean out all wax (has a fresh smell) and then add any medication after this. Only your vet can diagnose this and just like humans if the ear infections is not looked after the dog could go deaf.

When cropping a dogs' ears, they're taking to the vet and put under anesthetic, so they don't feel pain.Some people chop their dogs ears off or cut them off with scissors are being very stupid; the dogs are in pain for days and the ears don't heal properly.Please, If you get your dog's ears cropped--go to a vet.Besides, if someone finds out you cut your dog's ears off you can get in deep trouble; it is considered animal cruelty.
