There are many reasons why your Puppies ears have not stood up yet. My chihuahuas ears didn't stand up perfectly until he was five months and they would still occasionally drop until he was one. Some dogs ears droop from getting there shots or maybe he has a weak ear which in this case you can tape his ear (make sure you get your vet show you cause improperly doing so may cause more problems). Another thing is when they start teething most dogs ears will droop. Im not sure his diet is relevant to this but their is a research that came out that dogs who do not get enough calcium can have this problem.

i also don't agree that it is the diet.usually when they are teething this happens.sometimes also they have a lazy ear and they have to control it themselves.i would wait awhile before taping to see if it corrects itself,not along time but give it a little time.good luck |
