I've got 2 juniors who each have one ear that's not erect. One is an American, the other is a Beveren. They're does, approx 4 months old. When I purchased them, both ears were erect. this was during the very hot July we had...then of course August got worse. The American isn't as bad as the Beveren. With her it's an on-again-off-again thing. The Beveren just seems to have one ear that is at 90degrees out. Although when she's grooming herself, or ticked off, it's back on her head the right way.
They're on a 17% pellet, with timothy hay, and greens. (the occasional lump of alfalfa in place of the pellets.
Is there anything I can do for them or is this just something I have to live with? Is the ear thing a genetic problem? I've had the floppy ear thing with young kits in the NewZealands, but they always seem to be down one day..then up..then it's the other ear..then up...and they grow out of it by the time they're weaned.
Any help or ideas or thoughts would be apprecieated
